This note belongs to a peculiar transitional moment: Moldova had declared independence in August 1991 but had not yet introduced a permanent currency. The Moldovan cupon, of which this 75-rouble denomination is part, was issued by the Ministry of Finance rather than a central bank — because no functioning central bank existed yet to do the job. These coupons circulated alongside Soviet roubles as a parallel rationing instrument before the permanent leu was introduced in November 1993.
The P#A20 designation reflects some uncertainty in the cataloging history; early Pick listings for the cupon series were revised more than once as specimens and issued examples were distinguished.
