Another collector's novelty, dedicated to the Ukrainian writer Lesya Ukrainka, pleased connoisseurs of rare banknotes. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the poet's birth on January 21, a silver banknote with a nominal value of 200 hryvnia was issued. Its image is exactly the same as on a regular banknote of the same denomination of the sample of 2019.
The banknote is made of 999 silver. The size of one copy is 133x66 mm. A thickness of 1.35 mm. The circulation was only 300 copies. On the front side there is a portrait of Lesya Ukrainka and a water lily (optical protective element SPARK), on the back side - the entrance tower with the main gate of the Lutsk castle. A similar paper banknote is made in pink, its size is slightly larger - 148x75 mm. The bill has been in circulation since February 25, 2020.
