Ukraine 100 Hryvnias Banknote (100 UAH) Circulated Condition

The 100-hryvnia banknote commemorates Taras Shevchenko, one of the most eminent Ukrainian poets, artists, and national activists. Measuring 142 x 75 mm, the banknote is a symbol of Ukrainian culture, literature, and the struggle for freedom.

On the obverse of the banknote is a portrait of Taras Shevchenko (1814–1861), a creator whose poetry and paintings had a fundamental impact on the development of Ukrainian national identity. His life and work symbolize resistance to oppression and the pursuit of Ukraine’s freedom and independence.

On the reverse the banknote depicts a woman in traditional Ukrainian attire, symbolizing the beauty, tradition, and strength of the Ukrainian people. In the background, a portion of the landscape refers to Shevchenko’s native land.

To protect against counterfeiting, the 100-hryvnia banknote in Series 2, 3, and 4 uses the following security features:
Watermark with the image of Taras Shevchenko and the numeric denomination “₴100,” visible when held up to the light.
Security thread, visible in light, with the microtext “₴100.”
Tilt effect — the denomination “100” changes color depending on the viewing angle.
Optically variable ink — selected elements change color from purple to green.
Tactile elements, including Shevchenko’s portrait, the denomination, and markings for the visually impaired.

Differences between series:
- Series 2 is characterized by classic security features and a simple color scheme.
- Series 3 features an enhanced tilt effect and clearer microtext, increasing the difficulty of counterfeiting.
- Series 4 introduces additional optically variable ink and improved print quality, providing a higher level of protection against counterfeits.
