1 Zlotnik Sawflies

The zlotnik was a pre-metric unit of weight used across the Russian Empire, equal to roughly 4.27 grams — its appearance on a modern Ukrainian coin is a deliberate act of historical reclamation, asserting a distinct monetary and metrological heritage separate from the imperial Russian framework. Ukraine introduced this denomination series in 2022, the same year Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Sawflies of the family Tenthredinidae are among the more economically significant insect pests in Ukrainian agriculture, particularly damaging to cereal crops.
