Fenntucky Mike began his Ukraine, 1917-Date, Issued Notes, Complete, found here, in 2019, and he continues to show his dedication to this unique and historical series. This set has slowly and consistently climbed with a most recent upgrade in February, and it currently, proudly sits in first place. This set presents an interesting evolution of Ukrainian political history as reflected through paper currency. From the People’s Republic in 1917, through World War I and World War II to the present date, this collector offers a colorful walk through Ukrainian history with an impressive number of images for all 75 of his notes. From the Karbovantsiv of the People’s Republic in 1917 to the Hryven of today, this set is a lovely representation of the evolution of the Ukrainian dollar over time. Be sure to check out the extensive gallery here.
