The Ukraine one hundred-hryvnia bill (₴100) is one of the most common banknotes of the Ukrainian hryvnia; it is the main banknote dispensed from Ukrainian automatic banking machines (ABMs).[citation needed]

The second series of Ukrainian hryvnia banknotes included Ivan Kramskoi's portrait of Taras Shevchenko on the face,[3] and the Saint Sophia Cathedral, Kyiv on the reverse.[1] The notes were printed by Thomas de la Rue in 1996 and the National Bank of Ukraine in 2000.[3] The design was also printed by the Canadian Bank Note Company in 1992, but these notes were never issued into circulation.[3]

The olive-coloured version which replaced the second series note was released to the general public on 20 February 2006, with Taras Shevchenko's self-portrait on the face and the Chernecha Hill in Cherkasy and the figures of a blind kobzar with his guide boy on the reverse.[1] In 2014, the reverse image was changed to the façade of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, with the new designs entering circulation from 9 March 2015.[1]
