2 Hryvni 2013

In the right part of the banknote, on the background of national ornament, silver coin with the arms of the prince Yaroslav the Wise and the grid with digits 2, is the portrait of Yaroslav the Wise.

Yaroslav I, Grand Prince of Rus', known as Yaroslav the Wise or Iaroslav the Wise (c. 978 - 20 February 1054) was thrice Grand Prince of Novgorod and Kiev, uniting the two principalities for a time under his rule. Yaroslav's Christian name was George (Yuri) after Saint George.

A son of the Varangian (Viking) Grand Prince Vladimir the Great, he was vice-regent of Novgorod at the time of his father’s death in 1015. Subsequently, his eldest surviving brother, Svyatopolk the Accursed, killed three of his other brothers and seized power in Kiev. Yaroslav, with the active support of the Novgorodians and the help of Varangian mercenaries, defeated Svyatopolk and became the Grand Prince of Kiev in 1019. Under Yaroslav the codification of legal customs and princely enactments was begun, and this work served as the basis for a law code called the Russkaya Pravda ("Rus Truth [Law]"). During his lengthy reign, Rus' reached the zenith of its cultural flowering and military power.

In center is a dictum: "…якщо будете жити в любові між собою

Бог буде у Вас…" or "...if you will live in love, then God will be with you...".
