| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vignette of the Verkhovna Rada building in Kyiv's Pecherskyi District, the seat of the Ukrainian parliament, rendered in a neo-classical architectural style. The structure, designed by Volodymyr Zabolotny and erected between 1936 and 1938, is set within a guilloche-patterned underprint with the denomination and issuing authority inscribed in Cyrillic. Corner numerals and ornamental borders complete the design. |

Ukraine's first post-Soviet banknote series was printed in Canada because no domestic security printing facility existed at independence — a practical problem shared by several former Soviet republics scrambling to establish sovereign currencies in 1991–92. The Canadian Bank Note Company had the capacity and the clearance; the contract was straightforward.
Engravers Maksymov and Lopata were Ukrainian artists, their work shipped to Ottawa for production — an arrangement that kept the cultural authorship domestic while the technical execution stayed abroad. P#107B is a signature variety within the inaugural 1992 hryvnia issue, distinguished from 107A by the signing officials rather than any design change.
