| Additional information |
Transnistria's commemorative program has long punched above its weight for a state recognized by virtually no UN member. This piece marks the 1931 transpolar flight by Wiley Post and Harold Gatty — or possibly the 1937 ANT-25 Soviet transpolar crossing by Chkalov's crew, which holds stronger claim to "intercontinental" status in Russian historiographic tradition. Without clearer issuer documentation, the specific flight commemorated remains ambiguous.
Nickel-plated steel is the workhorse of Pridnestrovian commemorative coinage, keeping face value and production cost in rough alignment for a currency with no external convertibility.
