1994 Transnistria 5 Rubles Banknote Alexander Suvorov P-17 Currency Note

Issued during the post-Soviet transitional monetary period by the Transnistrian Republican Bank (Banka Nistryane / Pridnestrovskiy Bank / Prydnistrovs'kyy Bank), this 1994 5 Rubles coupon banknote (Kupon 5 Rubley) is cataloged internationally in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as Pick #17 (P-17) and The Banknote Book as B119. The obverse features an engraved portrait of the legendary Russian Imperial Generalissimo Count Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov (1730–1800), founder of the capital city of Tiraspol, alongside trilingual issuing authority titles in Moldovan Cyrillic, Russian, and Ukrainian. Intricate multi-color guilloche security rosettes, underprint lathework, and the denomination tablet frame the historical design. The reverse presents the modernist architectural facade of the Supreme Soviet (Parliament / Government Building) in Tiraspol fronted by the prominent Vladimir Lenin monument and surrounding civic grounds, bordered by geometric lathe patterns and the formal statutory counterfeiting legal warning. This transitional currency note serves as a distinctive historical artifact for collections focusing on breakaway republics, unrecognized states, and modern Eastern European paper money.
