After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 15 geopolitical entities emerged on its territory, which began to build independent states with all the necessary attributes. Each former socialist republic took into account its national characteristics, this was not only the case symbols of the country and the names of settlements, and above all the currency. Each state solved the problems that arose in its own way, and the Republic of Armenia was no exception. When choosing national money, she stopped at dramas, we will talk about them later.
Armenian coins appeared for the first time in the 3rd century BC during the reign of the Yervandid dynasty. They were minted according to Hellenic models with the profile of the ruler on the obverse. The state symbols were depicted on the reverse. The legend was usually performed in Greek the alphabet.
However, the regular issue of silver and copper money began only in the 1st century BC under Tigranes II the Great of the Artashesid dynasty. At that time, the currency of Armenia was called drachma, from the ancient Greek handful, grasped by hand.
