The central design is framed by a decorative wreath of stylised leafy branches extending from a foliate ornament at the base, curving upward to frame the denomination on both sides, with small circular pellets punctuating the inner border of the wreath throughout. |

| Additional information |
Transnistria's coinage program launched in 2000 was a deliberate assertion of economic independence by a state unrecognized by any United Nations member. The Transnistrian Republican Bank issued these aluminum bronze kopeck denominations knowing full well they would circulate only within a territory of roughly 500,000 people wedged between Moldova and Ukraine — a monetary system serving a political fact the international community refused to acknowledge.
The Schön 5.1 designation hints at a subsequent variety; collectors should verify the reverse die details, as the series was revised within a few years of its initial release.
