| Comments |
Transnistria's 1998 high-denomination issues reflect a monetary system under sustained strain. The breakaway republic — never recognized by any UN member state — operated its own banking infrastructure from Tiraspol following the 1992 armed conflict with Moldova, and chronic inflation through the mid-1990s drove denominations upward well past any practical ceiling for everyday transactions. The 10,000 rouble note was part of that inflationary climb before the 1 January 2001 redenomination replaced 1,000 old roubles with 1 new rouble.
Pick 29A is distinguished from the near-identical P#29 by its serial number prefix format — a granular distinction that matters to specialists assembling complete type sets of Transnistrian issues.
