1 Ukrainian Hryvnia Banknote (1995 Series)

1 Hrivnya Hryvnia / Karbovanets (Issued 1994)

The 1 Hrivnya banknote from 1994 represents Ukraine’s early monetary independence following the nation’s transition away from Soviet currency. This denomination served as the foundation of the newly established hryvnia currency system introduced by the National Bank of Ukraine. The note reflects the cultural and historical identity of Ukraine through its carefully selected imagery and typography. As one of the first banknotes issued under Ukraine’s sovereign monetary authority, it holds significance in the country’s economic history.

On the front, a portrait of a historical figure wearing an ornate crown dominates the right-hand side of the note, rendered in detailed brown and sepia tones against a carefully engraved background. The portrait is complemented by intricate guilloché patterning in soft greens and peachy hues across the left portion of the design. The denomination “1” appears prominently in the lower right corner in large numerals, with the serial number “ЛБ0760060” displayed in red text on both the left and right edges. The text “УКРАЇНА” (Ukraine) and “НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ” (National Bank of Ukraine) arc across the top of the note in Cyrillic lettering. Below the portrait, a decorative banner contains additional text in Cyrillic script. The left side features an ornamental circular design element in green, alongside a detailed engraving of flowering plants rendered in brown and subtle colour gradations. Security features include a vertical security strip visible on the right portion of the note.

The reverse displays the text “НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРАЇНИ” (National Bank of Ukraine) arranged in an arc across the upper portion. A substantial engraved scene occupies the central area, depicting classical architectural ruins with columns and stonework rendered in brown ink. The denomination “1” appears in large numerals within decorative circular medallions in each corner, rendered in green. Ornamental vine and floral motifs in soft green tones frame the left and right edges of the design. A horizontal decorative band separates the upper and lower sections of the reverse, and the text “ОДНА ГРИВНЯ” (One Hrivnya) appears in a banner below the central architectural scene. The overall colour palette consists of soft greens, browns, and cream tones across fine quality banknote paper.
