Product description:
This bill reproduces the design of the Ukrainian 100 hryvnia banknote, which was put into circulation on October 17, 1918. In the spring of 1918, the Ukrainian government decided to change the name of Ukrainian money from karbovants to hryvnias. This was done in order to draw attention to the fact that Ukraine is the inheritor of the statehood traditions of Kyivan Rus. The 100-hryvnia banknote, designed by Georgy Narbut, was distinguished by the highest craftsmanship. In the center of the front of the note is a large wreath of flowers, fruits, vegetables and wheat. To the left of the wreath is a woman in traditional Ukrainian dress holding a sheaf of wheat and a sickle. To the right of the wreath is a man in an apron leaning on a hammer with laurel leaves wrapped around it. On the reverse side of the banknote is a large cartouche with a plant and fruit ornament. On both sides of the cartouche, inside which there are inscriptions, there are decorative columns. The composition is crowned by a trident framed by a laurel wreath. The banknote is 80x170 mm in size. It is made of paper and has a watermark (image of a trident).
