Viking Family Riverboat Monument & Saint Sophia Cathedral 5000 Karbovantsiv Ukraine Authentic Banknote Money for Jewelry and Collage (Kyiv) (Kiev Founders) (Hovering Swan) (Ladya Monument) Obverse: Ladya ("Riverboat") Monument (also known as the "Hovering Swan" monument) honoring the city of Kiev's founding Viking brothers Kyi, Shchek and Khoryv with their sister Lybid. All notes with serial number. Trident "Tryzub" shield added at left. (Ukrainian brides come to the Ladya Monument on their wedding day and throw bouquets over their heads in the direction of the boat, while standing with their backs to it. The idea is to have the bouquet land inside of the boat, as a sign of a family's future happiness. Also, near the Ladya Monument grows a “marriage” tree upon which the brides tie ribbons for a happy life and beautiful and healthy children.)
