Additional information

The Moldovan breakaway territory of Transnistria — formally unrecognized by any United Nations member state — has issued its own coinage since the early 1990s through the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank. MASSR refers to the Moldavian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, established in 1924 along the left bank of the Dniester as a Soviet political instrument intended to project influence over Romanian-controlled Bessarabia. The republic existed until 1940, when the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact reshuffled the region's borders entirely.

Transnistrian commemoratives referencing the MASSR are explicitly ideological — a territorial claim dressed as history.
