Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990, and the Transnistrian Republican Bank began issuing its own currency as the breakaway republic sought to operate a functioning economy under an internationally unrecognised government. The 1994 series replaced earlier coupon-style notes that had served as a stopgap currency in the republic's first years.
The printed date 30.04.1945 has nothing to do with production — it is a commemorative date marking the Soviet victory in World War II, a deliberate political signal embedded in the note's design rather than a printing record.
