| Comments |
Transnistria's banknotes have always occupied an awkward legal position — issued by a state unrecognized by any United Nations member, yet functioning as the sole legal tender within a territory that has maintained de facto independence from Moldova since 1992. The Republican Bank operates as a fully functioning central bank despite that ambiguity.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to a commemorative date encoded in the design rather than an actual press date — a known feature of this 2009 commemorative issue marking the 64th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the Second World War. The note entered circulation as a collector-targeted issue rather than routine monetary stock.
