“30 Hryvnias” — Kristina’s Exclusive Hare Banknote Patch

Need a favour? That’ll be 30 hryvnias.

Created by Kristina for her brother-in-arms with the military call sign “Hare,” this personal patch turns his favourite response into a currency of its own.

The Story Behind the Patch

Ask Hare for a favour and the answer is always the same: “30 hryvnias.”

Naturally, Kristina and her comrades decided that if he was going to charge, they should have the right money. Their solution? A specially designed banknote patch, complete with a hare portrait and his preferred denomination.

It’s an inside joke between comrades, made into something you can collect—a little glimpse of the friendship and humour behind the uniforms.

One favour. One price. Exact change provided.

The Design

Styled as a playful Ukrainian banknote, the patch features a white hare wearing an embroidered shirt, the wording “30 гривень” (“30 hryvnias”) inside a bold red circle, and a pale blue stitched border.

The banknote-style details give the joke its finishing touch: Hare now has his own unofficial trading currency.
