Item Description:

This banknote marks the 300th anniversary of the birth of Hryhorii Skovoroda – a unique, extraordinary, eminent personality, whose work remains relevant throughout the ages. For anyone who has ever read Skovoroda’s works, he is not merely a wandering philosopher, writer and historian, but also a person who inspires many generations into action, while his written legacy serves as "an instrument of various ideas and perspectives”. The philosopher thought that the main thing in life was a sense of freedom: “What is freedom? What good is there in it? Isn’t it like gold, they say? Certainly not, it’s not gold: compared to freedom, gold is just a swamp. Oh, If only I didn’t make a fool of myself, I wouldn’t live a day without freedom...” [poem “De libertate” (About freedom”)]. Today, the entire world is witnessing what Ukrainians can do to protect their freedom, and can see the unbearably high price they are paying for it! The commemorative banknote replicating the 500 hryvnia banknote designed in 2015 has the following series: ГС No. 0000001–0050000. It was issued in 2022, and is sized 75 х 154 mm.
