Knight hero in Romanian and Moldavian folklore.

So here we have the Transnistrian Pridnestrovian ruble, nominal - 100. The year of issue of this coin is 2006, mint: Moscow, Russia. Total circulation – 1.000. The coin is dedicated to the fabulous character Fat-Frumos.

Akin to Prince Charming, he possesses such essential attributes as courage, purity, justness, physical and spiritual strength, cleverness, passion, and unshakable love. Făt-Frumos also displays some minimal abilities in performing miracles, as well as total commitment to a task once his word is given and to the monarch he serves.

Făt-Frumos is usually the youngest son of a king. In the Romanian folk stories it is common that all the sons of a king try to defeat the Zmeu or the Balaur, the older sons failing before the younger one succeeds

Făt-Frumos has to go through tests and obstacles that surpass ordinary men's power. With dignity, he always brings these to a positive resolution. He fights demonic monsters and malevolent characters. He travels in both "this land" and "the other land" on the "The Marvellous Horse", who also serves as his counsellor.

At the end of the fairy tale, Fat-Frumos is paired up with the heroine of the story, a fairy maiden: Fairy Queen.
