Transnistria's 1994 rouble series was issued by a breakaway state that has never received formal international recognition — the notes are legal tender within a territory that most maps still label as part of Moldova. The 1992–1994 issues replaced provisional coupon money that had been printed on near-cardboard stock, and this 1994 series represented the first attempt at a somewhat conventional banknote format for the republic.
The watermark is the sole mechanical security feature, which kept printing costs low — reflecting the economic isolation that defined Transnistria's early years after the 1992 armed conflict with Moldovan forces ended in a ceasefire rather than a resolution.
