| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed frontal view of the neoclassical facade of the Theatre of Drama and Comedy named after N.S. Aronetskaya, rendered in fine relief with columns and ornamental architectural details prominently displayed. In the lower foreground, two comedy and tragedy theatrical masks are depicted overlapping, serving as a symbolic motif for the performing arts. Above the building, the inscription 'ТЕАТР ДРАМЫ И КОМЕДИИ ИМ. Н.С. АРОНЕЦКОЙ' curves along the upper field in Cyrillic lettering. The bold numerals '90' dominate the center above the legend 'ЛЕТ' (Years), commemorating the 90th anniversary of the institution. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria — the narrow strip of territory between the Dniester River and the Ukrainian border — operates its own central bank and issues currency recognized by no sovereign state outside its borders. The Transnistrian ruble circulates domestically but cannot be exchanged on any international market, making commemorative issues like this one effectively collector objects from the moment of minting.
KM#590 belongs to a long-running series of themed commemoratives the Republican Bank has used since the 1990s to assert institutional legitimacy through numismatic output — a strategy common among unrecognized or partially recognized states.
