Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730-1800), Russian military commander and Generalissimo who is considered one of the greatest military leaders in Russian history. He won all 63 battles he commanded and was never defeated, serving under Catherine the Great and Paul I. Suvorov is particularly honoured in Transnistria as his forces captured the Turkish fortress of Tighina (Bender) in 1789 during the Russo-Turkish War, a key event in the region's history. The note features his portrait in military uniform with medals.
Back: The back of this Transnistrian 10 rubles note displays text in Russian Cyrillic identifying the denomination (КУPON / 10 РУБЛЕЙ - Coupon / 10 Rubles) and the issuing authority (ПРИДНИЕСТРОВСКИЙ БАНКЪ - Pridnestrovian Bank). The serial number АБ 2851331 appears at left, with the date 1994 below it. Decorative guilloche patterns in rainbow colors provide security features.

Background & history
This is part of the first currency series issued by the unrecognized Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic (Transnistria) following its 1990 declaration of independence from Moldova. The 1994 series replaced Soviet rubles and circulated until being replaced by a new ruble series in 2000. The choice of Alexander Suvorov reflects both Russian military heritage and his specific historical connection to the region through the capture of Bender fortress. These notes are sometimes referred to as 'coupons' (купон) in their official text. The issuing authority name uses the archaic Russian spelling 'БАНКЪ' with the hard sign (Ъ) at the end, evoking pre-revolutionary orthography.
