Ukraine
Beginning in February, the National Bank of Ukraine released a redesigned 200-hryvnia issue honoring the nation’s heroes and is part of a multi-note initiative celebrating the 33rd anniversary of Ukraine’s independence. Decorating the note is a patriotic slogan, “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Heroes,” that sits in the upper right corner of the note’s reverse, among other new design details.
