| Additional information |
The Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic — a breakaway state along the eastern bank of the Dniester River — declared independence from Soviet Moldova in September 1990, triggering a brief but bloody war in 1992 that ended in a Russian-brokered ceasefire leaving the conflict legally unresolved. By 2000, PMR remained unrecognized by any UN member state, a status that persists today. Issuing commemorative coinage was partly a practical exercise in state-building symbolism for a government that controlled territory, ran a central bank, and printed currency, but existed in a diplomatic void.
KM#6 places this among the earliest commemorative issues from the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank.
