| Reverse description | At center, a finely detailed stylized depiction of a broad-footed deer (Cervus elaphus) is rendered against a scenic background of rolling hills and a tranquil pond. The composition highlights the naturalistic form of the animal in a landscape setting typical of Transnistrian wildlife. The upper portion of the field bears the Cyrillic inscription naming the nature reserve 'KOLCOTOVA BALKA' and the species 'BROAD-FOOTED DEER'. The overall design reflects a conservation-themed artistic style consistent with the Pridnestrovian Republican Bank's wildlife commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
Pridnestrovie — the Russian-backed breakaway strip along Moldova's eastern bank — issues collector coinage through its republican bank despite lacking UN recognition or a stable independent economy. These pieces circulate internationally almost exclusively as numismatic exports, a revenue stream the territory has leaned on heavily since the 1990s. The Siberian musk deer (Moschus moschiferus), if that is the intended subject, has been under CITES Appendix II protection since 1979 owing to poaching pressure driven by musk gland demand in perfume and traditional medicine markets.
