Commenti	Ukraine's State Treasury issued this note during the brief period of the Ukrainian People's Republic, before the Bolshevik reconquest of Kyiv in early 1919. The 1918 karbovanets series was produced under severe wartime constraints — the newly proclaimed state had almost no functioning printing infrastructure, and several denominations were contracted or improvised under occupation and counter-occupation pressures that shifted month by month. Pick 5 is among the more frequently encountered survivors of the series, largely because the notes were printed in quantity but circulated in an economy already collapsing under military disruption. Hoarding was common, which paradoxically preserved many examples.
