Armenian Coins

Explore our collection of Armenian Coins, featuring a rich and diverse range of circulating, commemorative, proof, and historic issues from one of the world’s oldest civilisations. With a numismatic history spanning ancient kingdoms, medieval dynasties, imperial influences, and modern independence, Armenian coinage offers collectors an exceptional journey through thousands of years of cultural and historical development.

Armenian coinage dates back to antiquity, including famous issues from the Artaxiad dynasty such as coins of Tigranes the Great, which are among the most iconic ancient coins of the classical world. These early issues often feature royal portraits, Hellenistic artistic influences, and symbolic imagery reflecting Armenia’s role as a powerful regional kingdom between Rome and Persia.

During the medieval period, particularly the Cilician Armenian kingdom (1080–1375), coins such as silver trams were issued by Armenian kings including Levon I. These coins are especially notable for incorporating Armenian inscriptions and Christian symbolism, marking some of the earliest use of Armenian script on coinage.

In the modern era, Armenia introduced the dram as its national currency following independence, with coinage officially circulating from 1994 onward. Modern Armenian coins include circulating denominations, commemorative issues, and precious metal collector coins produced by the Central Bank of Armenia, often highlighting national history, culture, wildlife, and important anniversaries.

Our collection includes historic Armenian coins, ancient and medieval issues, modern dram coinage, commemorative releases, silver and gold collector coins, and limited-edition numismatic pieces. Many modern Armenian collector coins are produced in strictly limited mintages and are highly regarded internationally for their detailed designs and cultural themes.
