1 Transnistrian ruble #107

Front

Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730–1800), one of the greatest military commanders in Russian history who never lost a battle. Generalissimo of the Russian Empire, he is celebrated for his victories in the Russo-Turkish Wars and his legendary Alpine campaign of 1799. Suvorov is depicted wearing military decorations including the Order of St. George and other imperial honors. He is honored on Transnistrian currency due to his historical connection to the region, particularly his role in the Russo-Turkish Wars and the siege of Bendery Fortress.

Back

Scenic view of the Dniester River with Bendery (Bender) Fortress visible in the background. The fortress, originally built in the 16th century by the Ottoman Empire, was the site of important military engagements including Suvorov's operations in the region. The landscape represents the natural beauty of the Dniester region, which gives Transnistria its name (literally 'beyond the Dniester'). A solitary tree stands in the foreground, symbolizing resilience and the region's natural heritage.

History

The 2007 series of Transnistrian rubles replaced the earlier 1994-2000 series with updated designs and enhanced security features. Transnistria (Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic) is a breakaway state internationally recognized as part of Moldova but operating with de facto independence since 1992. The currency features historical figures connected to the region's complex past, particularly emphasizing Russian Imperial history. Alexander Suvorov appears on the 1 ruble note due to his military campaigns in the region during the 18th century. The series was printed by Goznak in Russia and remains in circulation as legal tender within Transnistria.
