About this banknote
The Ukrainian People's Republic issued State Treasury Notes in 1918, which included detachable interest coupons to facilitate semiannual interest payments. Due to a shortage of small change, these coupons were often cut out and circulated as currency.
The 90-shahiv coupon, measuring 132 x 75 mm and printed in green, was part of this series. It was originally attached to a 50-hryvnia bond and became a commonly used denomination in everyday transactions.
