| Obverse description | The coin is struck in square (lozenge-oriented) format with chamfered corners and a highly polished field. At centre, the State Emblem of the Transnistrian Moldovan Republic is depicted in relief, featuring a Soviet-style shield surmounted by a five-pointed star, flanked by sheaves of wheat and bearing a hammer and sickle motif, with the abbreviations PMR and RMN on the shield. The date 2011 appears below the emblem. The circular legend ПРИДНЕСТРОВСКИЙ РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКИЙ БАНК runs along the upper edge, while the denomination 5 РУБЛЕЙ is inscribed along the lower edge, each flanked by raised bullet points. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria — formally the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic — is an unrecognized breakaway state that declared independence from Moldova in 1990, backed by Russian military presence that remains to this day. Its central bank issues fully realized commemorative coinage despite no international recognition, a situation that makes these pieces legally ambiguous and practically uncirculated everywhere except within the territory itself.
KM#177 is part of a broader seasonal series. The "Summer" designation places it within a four-coin set, each struck to the same silver specification.
