| Reverse description | Central field features a detailed relief view of the Belgorod-Dniester Fortress (Akkerman Fortress), depicting its massive stone curtain walls and two prominent cylindrical towers with conical roofs, set upon rocky terrain rendered in fine relief. Above the fortress image, a decorative scroll-shaped ribbon bears the Cyrillic inscription БЕЛГОРОД-ДНЕСТРОВСКАЯ / КРЕПОСТЬ in two lines within the banner. The composition fills the field to the rim, with no additional legends or mint marks. |

| Additional information |
Belgorod-Dniester — known in antiquity as Tyras, later Akkerman under the Tatars and Ottomans — passed through Genoese, Moldavian, Ottoman, Russian, Romanian, and Soviet hands before the territory's status became genuinely unresolved following the 1992 war on the Dniester. The Pridnestrovian Republican Bank issues coins that no international body recognizes as legal tender outside the unrecognized republic itself, making each release a form of numismatic assertion rather than functional currency.
The fortress at Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi sits in Ukraine, not in Transnistria — which makes its appearance on a PMR coin a pointed territorial and historical claim.
