Additional information

Moldova's commemorative silver program in the mid-2000s drew deliberately on pre-state craft traditions, positioning pottery as one of the oldest continuous industries on territory that passed through Romanian, Soviet, and finally independent Moldovan administration within a single century. The National Bank issued this piece under its ongoing cultural heritage series, which began after independence gave the bank latitude to produce numismatic items disconnected from the Soviet aesthetic entirely.

KM#41 is not a high-mintage piece, and surviving examples in original packaging outnumber raw circulated specimens considerably.
