| 10th Anniversary
of Transdniestria |  |
 Medal established by Presidential decree no. 27 of 1 February 2000. Made of brass (latun), 33 mm in diametre. This
is quite a rare medal as Transdniestria is a separatist territory
with all the trappings of a State including award ceremonies.
Reputedly medals have been made in Russia and are awarded
with pomp by the self-proclaimed "President" Mr.
Igor Nikolaevich Smirnov.
I am trying to find out how many
people received this medal.
