Hi all, I'm interested in Ukraine money and I was wondering when did Ukraine started (as Ukraine) I have heared that there are coins from 17th cent. and I'm sure that there are more way back. I would be glad to know when did Ukraine started to mint coins (or hammer coins) and what was the names of the coins. I only know Hryvnia and Kopeiika, also Kerbovantes - but I would be happy to know the coins way back to 17th or maybe 14th cent. I would be glad if some one have pictures of the coins and also can tell me the names of the coins from when Ukraine started - Ukraine is Anceint so there must be coins that they used. Thanks in advanced, TQ
In the interests of clarity and non-repetition I posted several responses in the other said venue on the Ancient forum for you.
The Eastern Celts of the area were minting coins as far back as the 6th century BC. (ie. Celtic Ring money) Ripley
There is a brief summary of the history of coins in the Ukraine at the Odessa Numismatics Museum at http://www.museum.com.ua/en/fondu/history.html Robert
