1 Rubl'
The Pridnestrovian Republican Bank (the de facto central bank of Transnistria/Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic) issued this commemorative 1 Ruble banknote in 2025 with an overprint marking the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II (1945-2025). The commemorative banknote follows Transnistrian tradition of issuing special editions for significant historical anniversaries, applying commemorative overprints to existing notes for both general circulation and numismatic collectors.
The banknote features Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov, the celebrated 18th-century Russian military leader and the last Generalissimo of the Russian Empire. Suvorov is venerated in Transnistrian history and culture as a founding figure of military tradition and is prominently featured on Transnistrian currency.
The commemorative 2025 edition includes the 80th anniversary of victory emblem and the St. George ribbon, symbolizing the Great Patriotic War (World War II from the Soviet perspective). The note remains legal tender and was issued in both standard circulation and special numismatic packaging for collectors.
As part of Transnistria's broader 2025 commemorative currency program, this issue honors the historical significance of Allied victory in WWII while maintaining cultural continuity with the nation's 1 ruble denomination.
