| Additional information |
Pridnestrovie — the unrecognized breakaway republic between Moldova and Ukraine — has issued commemorative coinage since the early 1990s despite having no standing in international monetary law. Its coins are legal tender domestically but unrecognized abroad, making them collector curiosities rather than functional trade instruments. This 2021 healthcare issue almost certainly references the strain of the COVID-19 pandemic on the territory's limited medical infrastructure, though Tiraspol has issued thematic commemoratives on civic subjects consistently enough that the series predates the pandemic by decades.
