On 5 January 1918, the first Ukrainian bank-note with a value of 100 karbovanets was issued. There is an interesting detail: the trident depicted on the bank-note was proclaimed as a National Emblem of the UPR only on 25 February 1918. On all issued bank-notes was stated only one series – "AД" and only one number – 185. Combined with the use of ordinary paper (without water-marks) for printing of this bank-note, this led to the appearance of a great number of counterfeit bank-notes in circulation.
