hryvna


Explanation:
I think this is hryvna (also spelled as gryvna, гривна) - Ukrainian national currency.

The most frequent spelling is hryvna (middle ы)
However, I just searched for the best spelling of the word and found the following advise:
\"KYIV - In response to the improper references to the \"hryvna\" in the Western press, the Justice Ministry and the Ukrainian Legal Terminology Commission have released a special announcement declaring the official English-language form for Ukraine\'s new currency to be \"hryvnia.\"

agree  Vassyl Trylis: well, the right spelling must be 'hryvnia' that would exclude unnecessary russification.
