About this banknote
The Ukrainian People's Republic issued the 30 shahiv banknote in 1918 as part of an emergency currency series to address a shortage of metal for coinage. These small-denomination notes, known as "shahivky," were authorized on April 18, 1918, and circulated alongside metal coins.
The obverse features the head of Ceres at the center, with the denomination "30 ШАГІВ" and the inscription "УКРАЇНСЬКА НАРОДНЯ РЕСПУБЛІКА." The reverse displays the national emblem at the top center, accompanied by the text "Ходить нарівні з дзвінкою монетою," indicating its equal status with metal coins. These notes were printed on paper or cardboard and were issued in ultramarine and gray-violet colors.
