The "Kyiv Hryvnia" mini-sculpture in Kyiv turned four years old

August 4 marked the fourth anniversary of the unveiling of the bronze mini-sculpture “Kyiv Hryvnia”—the 31st installation in the “Shukay” tourism project.

The mini-sculpture is dedicated to the ancient Kyiv hryvnia—a silver ingot in the shape of a rhombic hexagon that was used as a means of payment nearly a thousand years ago during the so-called “coinless period.” The historical Kyiv hryvnia weighed about 160 grams.

You can find the mini-sculpture on the facade of the National Museum of the History of Ukraine at 2 Volodymyrska Street.

The author of the “Shukay” project is Yulia Bevzenko, and the sculptor is Yuriy Bilyavsky.
