18th century Ukrainian coin

I saw this listing on ebay for what is described as an 18th century Ukrainian coin. I had a vague feeling that it might be valuable so I bid, but I didn't really know for sure and I lost it. I'm wondering if it was any good. Here's the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171823538323?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649

This is a Russian 1705 kopek. Sold price might be a bit on the lower end.

 

Thanks. After I thought about it, I was thinking that I don't know if Ukraine was ever an independent country to issue its own coinage. I think I was remembering that someone posted a Georgian coin once and said it was worth big money.

 

There were Ukraine coins made before the Russian coins became common.

Such hryvnia are actually quite rare.



Georgian coins also share similar history. Here is a link with various pictures.
