| Additional information |
Transnistria's ongoing series of commemorative 25-rouble pieces documenting World War II sites on its territory has produced some genuinely localized history. The Varnitsky bridgehead — on the Dniester near Tiraspol — was the site of fierce Soviet crossing operations in April 1944 during the Second Jassy–Kishinev campaign's preliminary phase, as the Red Army pushed to establish footholds on the western bank against entrenched German and Romanian defenses.
Transnistria itself is an unrecognized breakaway state, meaning this coin has no standing as legal tender outside its own monetary system — a system accepted by essentially no international body.
