The Central Bank of Armenia has been issuing commemorative coins for quite a while, and they've just announced a new design.
Central Bank of Armenia issued Monday a silver coin dedicated to 100th birthday Armored Troops Chief Marshal Hamazasp Babajanyan.What? Doesn't Armenia have a mint capable of producing silver coins, or we are so desperate that we have to outsource the production of Armenian commemorative coins to the Czech Republic?
The CBA press service says the coin's value is AMD 1000, weight 33.6g and diameter 38mm. Armenia's state emblem is placed on the obverse side of the coin. Marshal Babajanyan in military uniform is depicted on the reverse side.
The coin is designed by Karen Kojoyan. As many as 500 coins are issued. They were made in Czech Republic.
THIS JUST IN! The same source tells us that the Central Bank of Armenia has also issued a commemorative gold coin in honor of the victory of Armenian chess players at the 37th World Chess Olympiad. One guess as to where this coin was produced. Give up? Czech Republic, again!
