The 2005 1 hryvnia with Volodymyr the Great is a mass circulation coin in aluminium bronze. Three varieties differ in the edge lettering font: 1БА1 and 1БА2 are worth face value, while 1БА3, where the «Д» sits close to «О», fetches UAH 10–20. The real rarity is the hryvnia with a plain edge and no lettering (1БАг), at about UAH 3,000.
