Transnistria's early banknotes were stopgap instruments issued by a breakaway administration that declared independence from Moldova in 1990 but has never received international recognition. The 1994 series, including this 100 Rouble note, was produced under severe resource constraints — the adhesive stamp overprint used on this series was a deliberate device to distinguish denominations or validate reissues without commissioning entirely new print runs, a shortcut common to post-Soviet microstates scrambling for monetary infrastructure.
The printed date "30.04.1945" is almost certainly a plate date inherited from a Soviet-era design source, not a production date for this note.
