Notice
Collector coins are made of precious metals and are issued to present
to the society the national, international, historical and cultural,
spiritual and other values of the country, to immortalize these values in
the metal and to meet the demands of the numismatic market.
Like any other currency the collector coins have face value which makes
them the means of payment. However, the face value of these coins is much
lower that their cost price which includes the cost of the precious metal
used for manufacturing of the coin, mintage and other expenses. Low face
value and high cost price allow these coins to be considered as the items of
collection and not the means of payment used in money circulation. The
collector coins have also the sale price set by the Central Bank of Armenia.
As the items of collection the collector coins are issued in very
restricted quantities and are not reissued.
Numismatists, collectors and all interested persons can buy the
Armenian collector coins in the sales salon “Numismatist” which is in the
building of the Central Bank of Armenia and is open for everyone.
