Issued to mark the 600th anniversary of Moldovan statehood, this coin belongs to a commemorative program the National Bank of Moldova launched around the turn of the millennium celebrating ecclesiastical and cultural heritage sites. Hîrbovăţ Monastery, situated in the Anenii Noi district along the Dniester, traces its origins to the medieval Moldavian principality — though its current stone structures date to the 18th and 19th centuries after repeated destruction and reconstruction.
Moldova's commemorative silver program of this period was struck in genuinely small quantities, often under 5,000 pieces per issue.
