The "Yassy Peace" commemorates the 1792 Treaty of Jassy, which concluded the Russo-Turkish War of 1787–1792 and confirmed Russian control over the northern Black Sea coast, including the region around the mouth of the Dniester — the precise territory Transnistria now claims as its historical heartland. Issuing this coin in 2021, the Transnistrian Republican Bank was making a pointed assertion: that Russian imperial expansion into this region carries a legitimizing history stretching back over two centuries.
Transnistria has operated as an unrecognized breakaway state since 1990, with its currency accepted nowhere outside its own borders. The Yassy series is one of several commemorative programs the bank uses to project historical depth onto a state most international bodies refuse to acknowledge.
