| Reverse description | The centre and right of the reverse carry an intaglio vignette of Tighina (Bender) Fortress, its medieval stone towers and walls rendered in dark purple-brown tones over a light guilloche underprint. To the left of the fortress stands a tall obelisk war memorial surmounted by a bird, commemorating Russian soldiers fallen in battle. The large guilloche-filled numeral 25 appears at lower left and upper left, with the denomination in words across the top and the anti-counterfeiting legend along the lower margin. |

| Comments |
Transnistria's banknotes occupy a peculiar position in world paper money: the territory has been internationally unrecognized since its 1990 declaration of independence from Moldova, yet it operates a fully functional central bank and has issued its own currency continuously since 1993. The Transnistrian rouble circulates exclusively within a strip of land roughly 4,000 square kilometers in size, backed by nothing beyond the de facto government's authority.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field almost certainly refers to a commemorative date printed on the note itself, not the manufacturing date — a common source of catalog confusion with this series.
