karbovanets

— The Central Powers secured the transfer to themselves of 1,600,000,000 karbovantsi (Ukrainian rubles), which were being printed in Berlin, and in return placed at the disposal of the Ukrainian Government marks and crowns at the rate of 0.85 karbovanets for the mark and 0.50 karbovanets for the crown (krone), but this money was not to be used by the Ukrainers for the purchase of goods in Germany and Austria until a year after the conclusion of a general peace.
