| Comments |
The 75 karbovantsiv denomination is an outlier — Soviet-era Ukrainian banknotes almost universally followed round-figure denominations, and this value was issued specifically to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Zaporozhian Sich, the semi-autonomous Cossack polity that became a central symbol of Ukrainian national identity. Issuing a commemorative paper note in a denomination with no routine transactional utility was itself an unusual concession by Soviet authorities, coming at a moment when Moscow's grip on the republics was visibly loosening.
The note was never intended for general circulation and most examples remained unhandled.
