| Additional information |
Vadul-lui-Vodă — the village rendered here in its Russian transliteration — sits on the Dniester River east of Chișinău, in territory Transnistria does not actually control. The inclusion of a Moldovan Orthodox site on a Transnistrian commemorative reflects the bank's broader numismatic strategy in the early 2000s: issuing gold and silver collector pieces tied to Orthodox religious heritage as a means of asserting cultural legitimacy for a state unrecognized by any UN member.
KM#28 was part of a small 2001 gold program with extremely limited mintages, largely sold to specialist collectors outside the region.
