Transnistria's constitution commemoratives occupy a peculiar niche: issued by a central bank of a state unrecognized by any UN member, yet operating a fully functional monetary system since 1994. The 2020 date likely marks the 29th anniversary of Transnistria's self-declared independence from Moldova, a declaration made during the final months of the Soviet collapse that triggered a brief but bloody armed conflict in 1992 along the Dniester River.
