| Comments |
Transnistria's breakaway status meant its banking infrastructure developed in near-total isolation from recognized international financial systems after the 1992 war with Moldova. The Republican Bank could not contract major Western security printers, so production arrangements for this series remain somewhat opaque — the "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly reflects a commemorative date incorporated into the note's design or serial numbering scheme, not an actual print run date, as the issuing authority did not exist until 1991.
Pick 38 belongs to a ruble series that ran parallel to multiple redenominations, making precise attribution of individual print runs difficult without examining serial prefixes.
