| Comments |
Transnistria's banknotes occupy an unusual position in modern notaphily — the territory has operated its own currency since 1994 despite lacking any UN member-state recognition. The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field here is almost certainly a commemorative date embedded in the design rather than a production date, referencing the end of World War II in Europe; the actual printing would have occurred around the year 2000.
The Transnistrian rouble has been redenominated multiple times, and this 2000 series replaced earlier coupon-based issues that had suffered severe inflation through the 1990s.
