| Reverse description | A detailed portrait of Soviet cosmonaut Georgi Mikhailovich Grechko is depicted in his spacesuit with the helmet visor open, occupying the central field. A spacecraft is visible in the background alongside a color-printed image of the Earth as seen from orbit, adding a vivid polychrome element to the composition. The legend 'Г.М. ГРЕЧКО' appears above the portrait, while the dates '1931-2017', denoting his years of life, are inscribed below. |

| Additional information |
Georgy Grechko flew three Soviet space missions between 1975 and 1985, logging over 134 days in orbit and conducting the first EVA to inspect a potentially faulty Salyuz 6 docking port in 1977 — a walk that confirmed the station was safe and allowed the mission to proceed. Transnistria, unrecognized by the United Nations and operating under persistent economic sanctions, has long used its numismatic program as a de facto diplomatic tool, issuing collectibles where conventional statecraft is unavailable.
