| Additional information |
Transnistria — the unrecognized breakaway state between Moldova and Ukraine — issues coins through the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank despite having no standing in international monetary law. These pieces circulate domestically and are accepted as legal tender within the territory, though no foreign banking system will touch them. The firefighter issue belongs to a long-running series of occupational and thematic commemoratives that the bank has used since the early 2000s to assert institutional normalcy.
KM#523 is nickel plated steel, a composition forced by the territory's limited economic resources and lack of access to global precious metal markets.
