This is a commemorative note of 500 hryven, reportedly released on 29.12.2022, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Hryhorii Skovoroda. Hryhorii Skovoroda was a philosopher, writer, poet, composer and a teacher. He was born in 1722, and died in 1794 at the age of 71 years old. He died of natural causes. Hryhorii Skovoroda was of Ukrainian Cossack origin, and he lived and worked in the Russian Empire during his lifetime.
The design for this commemorative note is the same as the current 500 hryven in circulation since 2015, but printed with the commemorative logo. Prior to 2015, Hryhorii Skovoroda's portrait was printed on the 500 hryven in 2006. The commemorative logo is printed with the image of a person standing on the watermark area on the left side of the note, with the following text: -
