| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Gagauzia occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with a rising sun and flanked by two crossed flags on either side, all enclosed within a wreath of laurel and wheat. Three five-pointed stars are arranged above the shield in a triangular formation. A beaded inner border frames the design. The bilingual legend curves along the upper periphery in Latin and Cyrillic scripts, reading 'UTA Găgăuzia' on the left and 'АТО Гагаузия' on the right. The word 'Essai' appears in the lower exergue, indicating this is a pattern or trial piece. |

| Additional information |
Gagauzia is an autonomous territorial unit within Moldova, home to a Turkic-speaking Orthodox Christian minority that narrowly avoided open conflict with Chișinău in the early 1990s. It has no internationally recognized currency-issuing authority, and these brass pieces occupy an ambiguous legal space — produced as local collectibles or quasi-official tokens rather than circulating tender in any conventional sense.
