Issued to mark three decades since the August 1991 Declaration of Independence, this commemorative note was printed entirely in-house at the NBU's own facility in Kyiv — the same works that has produced Ukraine's circulating series since the mid-1990s. It circulates as legal tender, not a collector-only item, which is worth noting: the NBU has consistently used commemorative banknotes as genuine monetary instruments rather than pure souvenirs.
Pick W130 is the standard paper edition; a polymer variant was issued simultaneously, making this one of the rare cases where two substrate versions of an identical commemorative design entered circulation together.
