BANKNOTES OF ARMENIA
On Nov. 29, 1993, the Republic of Armenia broke her last link with the former Soviet Union by adopting the "Dram" as the new national currency. 5 denominations, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 Dram, were issued and placed into circulation. Later on 500, 1000 and 5000 Drams were added to make a complete set of 8 denominations. You may click on any banknote to view the face and the back of each denomination. All the banknotes are in perfect crisp uncirculated condition.
(A few Specimen Banknotes with Zero Serial number are available, please inquire).
