| Additional information |
Transnistria — a strip of land between Moldova and Ukraine, unrecognized by any UN member state — issues commemorative coinage through the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank as a deliberate act of institutional self-assertion. The bank has no international monetary standing, and these pieces do not circulate meaningfully outside the territory. Milan-Cortina 2026 marks the first time the Winter Olympics have been split across two host cities in Italy, a compromise born from a fractured bidding process in which neither city alone met IOC infrastructure requirements.
