Hryvnia was the currency unit of the Kievian Rus in the 11th century. Originally the word meant "neck" and used for the valuable things worn around the neck. Bogdan Khmelnitsky (1595 ? 1657) was a hetman (2nd-highest military commander after the monarch) of the Zaporozhian Cossack Hetmanate of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (now Ukraine). He led an uprising against the Commonwealth and its magnates (1648?1654) which resulted in the creation of a Cossack state. In 1654, he concluded the Treaty of Pereyaslav with the Tsardom of Russia, which led to the eventual loss of independence to the Russian Empire. 2nd image note under ultraviolet (UV) light showing security inks.
