Interesting fact
The 3 Roubles (Committee for State Security) 2017 coin from Transnistria features an image of a hammer and sickle on one side, which is a symbol of the Soviet Union and its legacy. This design choice is interesting because Transnistria, a breakaway region of Moldova, has a complex history with regards to its relationship with the Soviet Union. While the region declared independence from Moldova in 1990, it has maintained close ties with Russia and has been seeking recognition as a sovereign state. The inclusion of the hammer and sickle symbol on the coin may be seen as a nod to Transnistria's historical connections to the Soviet Union and its ongoing efforts to establish itself as a separate entity.
