| Additional information |
Transnistria declared independence from Moldova in 1990 following the collapse of Soviet authority, but no UN member state recognizes it. The Transnistrian Republican Bank nonetheless issues fully realized coinage — this silver piece among them — functioning as the monetary apparatus of a state that, legally speaking, does not exist. The church at Stroentsy, a village on the Dniester's right bank, sits in territory whose political status remains unresolved to this day.
