Description: A 6-pieces set of 1989 Ukraine SSR Local Region Banknotes ~ 1, 3, 5, 10, 25 & 50 Roubles in uncirculated condition. A fantastic, very scarce and valuable historical collection!History: During the period 1985-1991, Gorbachev's policies of perestroika and glasnost (restructuring and openness) failed to reach Ukraine as early as other Soviet republics. The Chernobyl disaster of 1986, the russification policies and the apparent social and economic stagnation led several Ukrainians to oppose the Soviet rule. There were chaos & the fear of the Russian rouble becoming worthless. Local authorities started issuing cupons to replace the Roubles.In Nov 1990, the Ukraine became the first Soviet republic to introduce its own crude currency, official coupons that come in every resident's pay envelope & must be used with Soviet rubles to purchase most consumer goods. The measure was described by officials in the 2nd-largest Soviet Republic as a remedy for inflation and empty shelves, and a step toward replacing the ruble with new Ukrainian money.Don't miss the opportunity to own this rare set!
