| Additional information |
Gagauzia — an autonomous territorial unit within Moldova — has no constitutional authority to issue currency, making these aluminium pieces legal curiosities rather than circulating money. They were produced as collector tokens asserting a degree of cultural and administrative identity that Chișinău has never formally recognized in monetary terms. The 2018 date places this issue during a period of sustained tension between Comrat and the Moldovan central government over fiscal autonomy and the region's persistent pro-Russian orientation.
