Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990, a separation that remains unrecognized by any United Nations member state. The Transnistrian Republican Bank nonetheless issued commemorative coinage through the early 2000s, functioning as a de facto central bank for a territory running on a parallel economy propped up largely by Russian political and military support.
Mikhail Larionov, the Russian avant-garde painter credited with founding Rayonism, spent most of his adult life in Paris after emigrating in 1915 — making him an unusual honoree for a breakaway Soviet successor state asserting its own cultural identity.
