| Additional information |
Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990, a separation backed militarily by the Russian 14th Army and never recognized by any United Nations member state. The Transnistrian Republican Bank has issued gold and silver commemoratives since the mid-1990s partly as a revenue mechanism and partly as a deliberate exercise in projecting institutional legitimacy — a breakaway territory asserting statehood through the one format the world conventionally associates with sovereign nations.
The dual KM reference reflects catalog uncertainty about whether this issue exists in two distinct variants, a not uncommon situation with Transnistrian commemoratives given the opacity of their official mintage records.
