Speaking of birds, this one is on a Ukraine 200 HRYVEN 2007. The Ukraine banknote has come a long way since the banknotes from 1991.

Ah the "kuponyi" which were like little worthless bits of paper that were easily faked. They were replaced with the first generation of hryven denominated notes that looked like they were printed in the 1930s. I didn't like using them in circulation because they were easy to mix up denominations - but even now it can be confusing with 1 and 5 hryven notes similar colours, and 2 and 10 hryven notes similar colours.

Nice Bird - Beautiful Plumage!

 

But is that Bambi and Thumper on back? If so, I gotta have it!

 

A beutiful note.

 

I believe that is "Uncle Rabbit" and "Uncle Wolf" from "the Adventures of Uncle Rabbit and Uncle Wolf"

Interesting, what type of bird is it? It looks like a crane of sort.

In Australia, animals tend to be the domain of coins, but there are a few examples of animals on backnotes.

 

Pre decimal 10 pound, George V & George VI issues. Signature series looks like Coombs/Watts so most likely late 1940's/early 1950's

$1 - 1966-1984 Aboriginal artwork

$2 - 1966-1988 John Macarthur and marino sheep

Nice selection, I love the New Zealand. I will have to look for one of those Australian 1 Pounds for my collection.

 

I don't know your budget, but Aussie predecimal doesn't come cheap these day, the note I posted above is one I picked up earlier this year in VF condition (a nice VF though) for over A$650 (as of today that translate to US$650!). I'm trying to get as much Aussie predecimal I can afford while I can, especially the George V & George VI issues.

 

This is my other animals.
