Diverdude Valued Member Canada 280 Posts	Posted 07/06/2022 12:40 pm From Ukraine, a 1991 3 Karbovantsi banknote featuring the sculptural image of Lybid from the Memorial in honor of the founding of Kyiv. The Cathedral of St. Sophia in Kyiv (on the reverse) is a historical, architectural and wall painting monument of the first half of the XI century, which is famous worldwide.

Diverdude Valued Member Canada 280 Posts	Posted 07/06/2022 1:04 pm Last one for now which has more to do with the Jamaican Coat of Arms than this 1960 dollar bill. The main features include a crocodile, pineapples, and a woman showing off her 'pineapples'. Description of the Coat of Arms from the website https://www.sparrowdove.com/2012/08...ats-of-arms/ As far as I can tell, Jamaica is the only country with a topless woman in its coat of arms (though not the only one with a topless man). It's also the only country to put pineapples on its coat of arms, and the only country to put a crocodile on its coat of arms. Apparently, the coat of arms used to be quite racist, with the motto at the bottom pointing out explicitly that the West Indian tribes served the British. "Out of many, one people" is a far nicer slogan, and arguably has more of a ring to it than "E Pluribus Unum", the Latin equivalent. Report this Post to the Staff

I just want to point out @Diverdude that your Jamaican $1.00 note is from the original 1960 series P-54 with the "2 shaded / 2 white" markers ($1 on the corners) & a Z prefix, which means its a rarer replacement note. [Replacements on island currency are often quite scarce: I have only seen 2 letter prefixes on many more P-59a/b myself] So nice note! Quote: The woman served as a model to design this banknote is Tsruya Shkedi-Ronen. Here is the original photo (upper right) and Tsruya Shkedi-Ronen holding the banknote: Great backstory again @LaoPhil! I'm just curious as to where/how you got these photos of the models. Did you take them yourself? Is there a story there? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Report this Post to the Staff

Did you take them yourself? Is there a story there? thanks, walk2dwater. I like to search for the original photos used as models to design stamps and banknotes I have in my album. Most of the photos I found in the internet or in old books I buy. In one case, the Lao woman photo I posted earlier (of the 100 piastre banknote), I received from her granddaughter as I wrote in the post. In 2-3 other cases, I contacted the families and ask for information and photos. Here for instance a banknote of 0.5 Lira issued by Israel in 1958 shows young girl serving in the Israeli Nahal brigade (Israeli Brigade that combined combined military service and establishment of new agricultural communities) + the photo probably used as a model, published in Israel in many sites and books: Report this Post to the Staff
Diverdude Valued Member Canada 280 Posts	Posted 07/10/2022 10:43 am Thanks walk2dwater for the info on that Jamaican dollar! I was just looking for a clear Coat of Arms. LaoPhil, that is awesome dedication finding the photos and background. That is the kind of stuff that should be in a book of your own sometime. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

LaoPhil Valued Member Israel 81 Posts	Posted 07/11/2022 02:36 am Thank you very much, Diverdude and CelticKnot, for your kind words. Indeed, in the past, I have written several articles about my banknotes mainly, Laos banknotes. Here are banknotes of 1, 10 and 20 Nakfa from Eritrea show women of different ethnic groups.
