Original vintage 250 Karbovantsiv State Treasury Note (Знак Державної Скарбниці) dated 1918. This historically significant piece of paper currency was designed and printed during the turbulent period of the Ukrainian Civil War, serving as a primary currency under the Ukrainian People's Republic (UNR) Directorate administration.
The banknote is highly valued for its striking patriotic design. The left side features a prominent stylized Ukrainian Trident (Tryzub) coat of arms nested within a traditional decorative wreath. On the right, the iconic anti-forgery warning states "За фальшування карається по закону" (Forgery is punished by law). The entire layout is framed by ornate baroque security borders with the denomination "250" positioned in all four corners.
