Yep, just happen to have one. Not even sure when or why I bought it...

 

I don't own any coins from Armenia. Yours look interesting. That time period I find quite interesting.

 

Just ordered a one-ounce from MCM. Good price.

 

Those old Armenians look wonderful !

 

Glad you like. They are from the "Crusader Era" little bits of history to me. :smile

 

I really want me one of those ancient Armenia tetradrachms for the 1st century BC. Rare and very expensive.

 

Same Anoob...

And maybe some from a bit later (first century AD is very interesting too)

Armenian rulers had to walk a very fine line between Parthia and Rome...

Any bad misstep would cause them to lose their throne and could start a civil war.

 

OK, here is the 2013 Armenia Noah's Ark one-ouncer.

 

Let's try again on that 1/2 oz:

 

This thread reminds me of uploading a few Armenia coins that I have taken a while ago.

Nevertheless, here are three tough pattern coins struck in Leningrad mint.







Mintage is rumored to be less than 2,000 each.
