A historical gold coin used in Ukraine and other Eastern European regions, particularly during Soviet times.
From Ukrainian chervonets, derived from Russian chervonetc, from Old Russian chervony meaning 'red,' originally referring to red-gold coins.
The Soviet Union deliberately kept printing chervonets long after other currencies failed because they were trusted internationally—basically a monetary backup plan that worked.
