2 Ukrainian Hryvnias Banknote (1995 To 2001 Series)

2 Hrivni Hryvnia / Karbovanets (Issued 1995)

The 2 Hrivni banknote from 1995 represents an early issue from Ukraine’s newly established National Bank, issued during the formative years following the nation’s independence. The obverse features a portrait of a historical figure depicted wearing a distinctive helmet, rendered in fine engraved detail characteristic of professional currency production. This denomination marked an important stage in Ukraine’s monetary development as the hryvnia replaced the Soviet karbovanets system.

On the front, the banknote displays a richly detailed composition dominated by the portrait of the helmeted figure occupying the right side of the note. The engraving showcases careful cross-hatching and line work throughout, with the portrait rendered in deep brown and burgundy tones against a lighter background. The left portion of the note features an ornamental Celtic-style geometric pattern in gold and green hues, with intricate interlocking circular designs typical of Ukrainian artistic tradition. The denomination numeral “2” appears prominently in the upper right corner in burgundy, repeated in the lower left in a square ornamental frame. Text reading “НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ БАНК УКРА ЇНИ” (National Bank of Ukraine) spans horizontally across the upper portion in serif typography. The serial number “ПВ5722073” is printed in burgundy at both bottom left and top right of the note. Below the portrait sits an engraved fish or aquatic creature in profile, rendered in brown tones. The entire design incorporates a security pattern of fine geometric guilloché work creating texture across the background, with the paper exhibiting a subtle cream to pale peach colouration.

The reverse displays “БАНК НАЦІОНАЛЬНИЙ УКРА ЇНИ” (Bank National Ukraine) text arranged across the upper section within decorative cartouches. Two large circular medallions frame the central composition, appearing as watermark windows that show through the banknote’s structure. Between these circular elements sits an architectural engraving depicting a multi-spired church or cathedral building rendered in burgundy and brown tones, featuring multiple towers and intricate structural detail. The denomination numeral “2” repeats in the four corners within ornamental square frames in burgundy and gold. Below the architectural illustration, text reading “ДВІ ГРИВНІ” (Two Hrivni) appears in a decorative banner. The bottom of the reverse displays “1995” indicating the issue date. Throughout the reverse, elaborate scrollwork and floral ornamental patterns in burgundy and gold frame the central elements, whilst the background incorporates fine parallel line patterns creating visual depth and security enhancement across the pale cream paper stock.
