On December 14, 1918, after Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi abdicated, the Directory was established in Ukraine, and the state regained its former name—the Ukrainian People's Republic.
In 1919, the Directory government commissioned the Military-Geographical Institute in Vienna to produce a series of 14 postage stamps with denominations ranging from 1 to 200 hryvnia. This issue is known as the Vienna series.
The stamps depicted the following subjects and figures: 1 hryvnia — the coat of arms of the UPR, 2 hryvnias — the allegory “Young Ukraine,” 3 hryvnia — a thatched cottage, 5 hryvnia — a team of oxen, 10 hryvnia — Bohdan Khmelnytsky, 15 hryvnia — Ivan Mazepa, 20 hryvnia — Taras Shevchenko, 30 hryvnia — Pavlo Polubotok, 40 hryvnia — Symon Petliura, 50 hryvnia — Cossack musician, 60 hryvnia — building of the UNR parliament, 80 hryvnia — Cossacks on a boat, 100 hryvnia — monument to Saint Vladimir, 200 hryvnia — windmill.
Printing was completed on May 31, 1921, but due to the defeat of the Directory, these stamps were not used. The design of the eight stamps and the overall design of the series was created by Ukrainian artist M. I. Ivasiuk.
In 2010, in honor of the Vienna series, Ukrposhta issued two blocks entitled “90 Years of Postage Stamps of the Ukrainian People's Republic.”
