Ukrainian Hryvnia to Pakistani Rupee

The Ukrainian hryvnia (sign грн, code UAH) serves as the national currency of Ukraine. It is not printed or accepted outside it. Kopiykas are used as change for the Ukrainian hryvnia.

Every UAH has 100 kopiykas. The currency has been in circulation since 1996. Prior to that, there was the karbovantes, and even earlier there was the Soviet ruble. The word “hryvnia” comes for the term “mane”. It defined coins with strings, resembling a bright mane of a golden horse. The word became widespread in old Rus. It was used as a weight measurement.

The Pakistani rupee (sign ₨, code PKR) is the official currency of Pakistan. The Pakistani rupee could be changed with 100 pice. However, the production of coins ceased due to inflation.

It was issued in 1948 after a monetary reform which had removed the Indian rupee from the territory of Pakistan. The Indian currency had still been used for payment up until 1966. Portraits of cultural and political figures of the country are used to decorate the notes. The banknotes are stylized in natural hues: green, olive green and brown.
