Biography
Enter any information known
Birth and Early Life: Ara Sargsian (Արա Միհրանի Սարգսյան) was born on January 30, 1902, in Sivas, Ottoman Empire, into an era marked by significant political and cultural changes. This tumultuous backdrop would later influence his artistic expression.
Artistic Training: Sargsian's initial training in the arts began in Vienna, a hub of cultural and artistic innovation in the early 20th century. This experience was crucial in shaping his artistic philosophy and technique, particularly in the realm of medal art.
Numismatic Beginnings: While known predominantly for his monumental and theatrical sculptures, Sargsian's foray into numismatics started during his student days. His early medal works, including his portrait of Professor Richard Robert, displayed a keen understanding of the intricacies of medal art and set the stage for his future endeavors in this field.
Development of Style: As Sargsian's career progressed, so did his style in medal art. His works are characterized by a deep understanding of the medium's potential to convey detailed narratives and personalities on a small scale. This is particularly evident in his portrait medallions and commemorative medals.
Numismatic Contributions: Sargsian's contributions to numismatics are significant, both in terms of quantity and quality. His works span a wide range of themes, from portraits and commemorative pieces to medals that capture key historical events and figures. Each piece is a testament to his ability to encapsulate complex stories and characters in a confined space.
Legacy in Armenian Numismatics: Sargsian's influence in the field of Soviet Armenian medal art is profound. He played a pivotal role in developing this art form within Armenia, and his works are revered for their artistic and historical value. His medals are not just artistic representations but also serve as historical documents that reflect the era's cultural and political narratives.
Death and Posthumous Recognition: Ara Sargsian passed away on May 13, 1969, in Yerevan. Posthumously, his contributions to art, particularly in the field of numismatics, have been recognized and celebrated. His works continue to be studied and admired for their unique style, technical mastery, and the depth of expression they achieve.
Through his numismatic art, Ara Sargsian left an indelible mark on Armenian and Soviet art, bridging the realms of sculptural and medallic creativity with unparalleled skill and vision. His legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of artists and numismatists.

NUMISMATISTS
Person
Numismatist having to do with Armenian numismatics.
Biography
Enter any information known
Victor Langlois (1829–1869) was a notable French historian, archaeologist, professor, numismatist, and orientalist, renowned for his expertise in Medieval studies and his significant contributions to Armenian history and culture. His work in numismatics, particularly pertaining to Armenian history, makes him a prominent figure in the field.
Early Life and Education
Victor Langlois was born on March 20, 1829, in Dieppe, France. He received a comprehensive education at the École Nationale des Chartes and the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales.
Career and Contributions
Langlois' career was marked by a deep dedication to the study of history and numismatics. His most notable work began in 1852 when, at the age of 23, he was commissioned by the French government to study in Cilicia, within the Ottoman Empire, focusing on historic French and Armenian relations, particularly during the Crusades. His findings during this expedition were later published in his 1861 book "Voyage dans la Cilicie et dans les montagnes du Taurus" (Travels in Cilicia and the Taurus Mountains). Langlois' excavations in the necropolis of Tarsus, where he discovered terracotta figures, were significant enough to be exhibited in the Louvre.
From 1857 to 1861, Langlois traveled in Italy, researching the historical connections between France and Armenia during the Crusades. His vast expertise also covered Egyptian and Georgian numismatics and he wrote extensively about the Armenian Mekhitarist congregation and the San Lazzaro degli Armeni convent.
Key Publications
Langlois authored more than thirty books on Armenian history, making significant contributions to the field of numismatics. Some of his key works include:
- "Rapport sur l'exploration archéologique de la Cilicie et de la Petite-Arménie" (1854)
- "Essai historique et critique sur la constitution sociale et politique de l'Arménie sous les rois de la dynastie roupénienne" (1860)
- "Notice sur le couvent arménien de l'île Saint-Lazare de Venise" (1863)
- "Mémoire sur la vie et les écrits de Grégoire Magistros" (1869)
- "Collection des historiens anciens et modernes de l'Arménie" (1869)
- "Histoire des Arméniens" (1880)
- "Historicorum Graecorum et Syriorum reliquiae in Armeniorum scriptis servatae" (1884)
Legacy and Membership
A member of the Academy of Sciences of Turin and the Société Asiatique, Langlois' work left a lasting impact in the fields of history and numismatics. He became a professor at the Collège de France in Paris, where he continued his scholarly pursuits until his untimely death on May 14, 1869, at the age of 40.
Langlois' contributions, particularly his extensive research and publications on Armenian numismatics, continue to be invaluable resources for scholars and enthusiasts in the field. His legacy lives on through his works, which remain essential references in Armenian historical studies and numismatic research.

Biography

Born in Constantinople (Istanbul), he entered the Mekhitarist Monastery in Vienna in 1838, becoming a member of the congregation four years later.
In 1845, he was ordained a celibate priest and took the name Clement. His interest in numismatics began under the guidance of Abbot Aristakes Azarian, who had established a coin collection for the congregation in 1825.
Sibilian began writing his main work, "Classification of Rubenian Coins," in 1846, but realizing the need for extensive research, he postponed the work.
After traveling in Lesser Armenia from 1847 to 1849, he published two books in Vienna in 1851, dedicated to the assassination of Mexican conquerors and the last days and death of King Tigranes.
Living in Izmir from 1853 to 1855, he attempted to travel to Cilicia but this plan failed when his superiors recalled him to Constantinople and then, in October 1856, to Persia, where he served as the community leader of the Armenian Catholics in Isfahan for a decade. During this time, he published articles on numismatics and archaeology in Armenian and European periodicals.
While in Persia, Sibilian visited Tehran (1857), Van (1861), Tiflis, and Etchmiadzin (1864), thus becoming familiar with Armenia's past and present.
Returning to Constantinople in 1868, he traveled in Lesser Asia until 1870, collecting coins and other antiquities, which he donated to the congregation's museum and other institutions. After a brief return to Vienna, he went back to Constantinople, where he collaborated with all the Armenian cultural institutions in the city. He taught in schools and published a geography textbook in 1877.
In 1875, Sibilian was appointed a correspondent member of the Vienna Numismatic Society for his contributions to Greek and Armenian numismatics.
He organized the ancient section of the Osmanian Museum in Constantinople, and in 1876, Sultan Abdul-Aziz appointed him the museum's second director, appreciating his qualifications.
In the late 1876, he visited Cilicia, and in April 1877, he was sent to the Middle East by the museum to collect artifacts. This expedition was fateful. Clement Sibilian, physically weakened by his travels and severely ill with dysentery, reached Tigranocerta and died eight days later, on May 23, 1878. He was buried there.
Shortly before his death, Sibilian completed "Classification of Rubenian Coins," where he first processed, classified, and chronologically examined more than 2,000 coins of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia.
The manuscript remained with his family until the Mekhitarist Congregation purchased and published it in 1892 in Vienna, edited and supplemented by Fr. Grigor Gallemkerean. The publisher noted in the preface that the congregation already had a collection of 15,000 coins, including 220 from the Arsacid dynasty and 2,232 from the Cilician period, thanks to Sibilian's efforts.

Biography

Born in Polis (Constantinople). He received his early education at the local tobacco school in his birthplace. In 1880, he was admitted to the medical school in Bolso (Constantinople), subsequently specializing in pharmacology. He completed his studies at the historical research department of the University of Paris. At the same time, he engaged in the study of the languages, history, and philology of the peoples of the Near East. He traveled to countries in the East and studied the languages and customs of the peoples of those countries. Upon returning to Constantinople, he wished to settle there. In Constantinople, he was involved in political movements, was arrested, and imprisoned. After some time, he was released and moved to Paris, where he eventually settled.
From the beginning of the 1890s, he finally devoted himself to philological work. Thereafter, until deep in old age, he was involved with the history of the Armenian people, writing more than ten works in Armenian, French, and English. His first scholarly work, dedicated to the deciphering of Assyrian-Babylonian inscriptions, was published in 1893. This was followed by further studies, all dedicated to deciphering cuneiform inscriptions. From the same years, he collaborated with Armenian scholarly journals ("Bazmavep", "Byurakan", "Anahit", etc.). In 1899, in Paris, he founded the "Banaser" archaeological and historical journal, which continued until 1908. In the pages of "Banaser", his and other historians' Near Eastern, especially Armenian, researches were published. In 1901, he wrote works in Armenian and French on the architectural style of Zvartnots and the cuneiform inscriptions discovered in Zvartnots. From 1899 to 1907, in Paris, he published the "Banaser" historical, philological, and literary journal, in which articles related to Armenian medicine and the history of Armenia were printed. He studied Amirtovlat Amasiatsi's "Unfathomable Doctor" and made translations of its chapters into Latin and French. Subsequently, in Constantinople, Paris, Venice, Vienna, and other cities, he published new books. His notable work contributed to the scientific publication of the manuscripts of ancient Armenian medicine in European state and private libraries.
As a pharmacist and lexicographer, he made significant contributions to the work of translating and interpreting the names of medicines and diseases in Arabic and Armenian into Latin and French. Karapet Basmadjian was the first to outline the history of Armenian dramaturgy with one book. He is the author of numerous articles on the history of Armenian medicine, published in French periodicals. He was also involved in issues of Armenian medical terminology.
Karapet Basmadjian was a member of the Armenian Physicians' Society in Paris and an honorary member of the French Society of Medical Historians. He was awarded the gold medal of the French public educator.
His books worthy of special mention include "The True History of the Armenians" (Constantinople, 1914, 1927), "Dictionary of the Armenian World Language", "General Armenian Numismatics" (Venice, 1936), and others. The detailed bibliography of his works can be found in M. Poturyan's "Armenian Encyclopedia".
He died in 1942 in Paris.

Berj Sabbaghian (Պերճ Ֆարեսի Սապպաղեան) was born on August 18, 1918, in Aleppo. A historian and numismatist, Berj Sabbaghian received his early education at the National Haykazian School in Aleppo, and his secondary education at the local Marist Brothers' school.
After teaching French at Haykazian for a year, he embarked on a commercial career and was appointed to the company "Efficient Eastern". Through his career, he pursued higher education in London, following courses in commerce and law.
Later, he established his own commercial office in Aleppo, where he served as the director.
For a year, he edited the Aleppo newspaper "Euphrates". While still young, he collaborated with Archbishop Artavazd Surmeyan on the three-volume work "History of the Armenians of Aleppo", performing English translations for the author. He deepened his expertise in numismatics, becoming one of the recognized experts in the Middle East, particularly in that region. He was an active participant in the cultural life of the Armenian community in Aleppo, one of its driving and leading forces during the forties and fifties. Simultaneously, he was a major figure in Armenian-Arab cultural cooperation.
Despite his vast scholarly accumulation, versatile and curious, Berj Sabbaghian remained a reserved writer. However, although his scientific-creative word remained limited in written pages, verbally, he had a different volume and breadth.
He was a member of the Syrian Archaeological Society, part of its administration, and until the end, remained one of the proactive and working members of that body.

Nikol Duman House Museum and Ethnographic District
Located in the serene and picturesque village of Tsaghkashat (Ghshlagh), the Nikol Duman House Museum and Ethnographic District offers visitors a unique journey back to 19th-century village life in the Askeran Region. Nestled about 22 kilometers past Stepanakert, along the main route to Gandzasar, this meticulously restored site pays homage to the vibrant cultural and historical tapestry of the region.
Tsaghkashat, a village of approximately 200 indigenous residents, maintains a pastoral charm with its main occupations being cattle breeding and wheat farming. The community is also revitalizing its age-old tradition of winemaking, adding to the authenticity and richness of the visitor experience.
The museum is dedicated to the life and legacy of Nikol Duman (Nikoghayos Ter-Hovhannisyan), a significant figure in the Armenian national liberation movement and a member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. Born on January 12, 1867, in Tsaghkashat, Duman was a respected educator and activist. After graduating from the Regional School of Shushi in 1887, he devoted himself to teaching in various Armenian schools across the Southern Caucasus.
The Nikol Duman House Museum not only captures the essence of Duman’s life and contributions but also serves as a vivid representation of rural Armenian life in the late 19th century. The Ethnographic District surrounding the museum further immerses visitors in the historical context, offering a tangible connection to the past.
This museum is a must-visit for those interested in Armenian history, culture, and the enduring spirit of its people. It stands as a testament to the resilience and rich heritage of the Armenian community, offering an insightful and engaging experience for all visitors.

The medal, designed by Samvel Chachoyan and produced in a limited edition of 30 pieces in 925 silver, was an initiative of the Budennovsk city Armenian public-cultural community organization "Holy Cross". Key contributors to the project included Petros Mkrtichyan and Grant Sarkisov.

Notes
Vazgen was born in Bucharest to a family belonging to the Armenian-Romanian community. His father was a shoemaker and his mother was a schoolteacher. The young Levon Baljian did not initially pursue the Church as a profession, instead graduating from the University of Bucharest's Faculty of Philosophy and Letters. After graduation, he became a philosopher and published a series of scholarly articles.
As his interests began to shift from philosophy to theology, Baljian studied Armenian Apostolic Theology and Divinity in Athens, Greece. He eventually gained the title of vardapet, an ecclesiastical rank for learned preachers and teachers in the Armenian Apostolic Church roughly equivalent to receiving a doctorate in theology. In the 1940s, he became a bishop, and then the arajnord (leader) of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Romania.
His rise through the hierarchy of the Church culminated in 1955 when he was elected Catholicos, becoming one of the youngest Catholicoi in the history of the Armenian Apostolic Church. He would reign until his death in 1994. During his long time as Catholicos, he managed to assert some independence for his church in face of the totalitarian Soviet rule in the Armenian SSR, and lived to see religious freedom restored under Armenia's national government in 1991.
From then on, he was very busy renewing ancient Armenian churches and reviving institutions of the church. He saved a number of church treasures by establishing the Alex Manoogian Museum of the Mother Church. Vazgen intensified contacts with the Armenian Catholic Church, with the aim of reuniting both wings of Armenian Christianity. He died on August 18, 1994, after suffering from a long-term illness.

Hand engraved disc is held in a reeded bezel with fob-type loop. It is somewhat eerie to contemplate an Armenian orphanage in a city that was still officially part of the same Ottoman Empire which had launched the 1915 genocide against the Armenian people. Smyrna may have been under Greek occupation in 1920, building up to the Turkish slaughter of the Greeks there in 1922, a double irony.

Notes
The events in Aintab from April 1920 to October 1921 marked a turbulent chapter in the city's history, characterized by armed conflict and complex political shifts. The city, caught between French military presence and Turkish nationalist forces, experienced significant upheaval. After a fierce resistance culminating in a temporary French victory in February 1921, the Treaty of Ankara led to a strategic French retreat. This abandonment left the Armenian population vulnerable, resulting in their tragic displacement and the erasure of their community within the city. The period is remembered for the resilience of the inhabitants and the profound changes it brought to Aintab’s demographic and cultural landscape.

Notes
Huguenin Frères, nowadays called Huguenin, is one of the most important minting companies in Switzerland. Huguenin tries to create unique masterpieces which are still made by hand in Le Locle. In 1868 the engraver Fritz Huguenin and his brother Guillocheur Albert established a small workshop, specialising in watch-case design. After buying a spindle press, they embossed their first medal in 1888. The Huguenin brothers specialised in the so-called Niel method, which is used to give silver watches a black finish. This method made them world-famous and in 1899 they set up the factory in Le Locle that is still used today. Their three sons took over the company, introducing new products, like marksmen decorations. The company was affected badly by the First World War and the financial crisis of the 1930s. Therefore, it became a limited company in 1934. In the following years, Huguenin Frères et Cie SA enjoyed considerable growth in the fields of watch cases and medals. In 1968 the company was called Huguenin Médailleurs SA. In 1992, Huguenin began minting the first coloured coins. In 1999 Huguenin amalgamated with the Neuchâtel firm Kramer. Eventually, Huguenin and Kramer merged with Faude in 2002, establishing the company Faude & Huguenin SA.

Notes
In 1272 AH, the town of Kars became a focal point in the Crimean War, a conflict that involved the Ottoman Empire, allied with Britain and France, against Russia. The town was subjected to a protracted siege by Russian forces led by General Nikolay Muravyov, also known as Mouravieff. The Ottoman garrison in Kars was commanded by British officers, including General William Fenwick Williams. Despite their valiant efforts, the garrison faced insurmountable challenges. A devastating outbreak of cholera severely weakened the troops, and food supplies dwindled as the siege wore on. Ultimately, these factors led to the surrender of Kars to Russian forces in November 1855.
The medal minted under Sultan Abdul Mejid I commemorates this specific period and the Ottoman defense of Kars. The obverse of the medal features the tughra, the Ottoman Sultan's calligraphic monogram, encircled by a wreath. The reverse depicts a cityscape of Kars, including its prominent castle and the Turkish flag flying above it. This medal was not a celebration of victory but rather a commemoration of the valiant, albeit unsuccessful, defense of the fortress town. It was awarded to those who had participated in the defense of Kars against the Russian siege.
From an Armenian perspective, the medal serves as a tangible artifact that encapsulates a turbulent period in the history of Kars, a town that had once been part of Armenian heritage and had its own dynasty of Armenian rulers. The medal stands as a poignant reminder of the complexities and struggles that have shaped the town's history, particularly during the pivotal year of 1272 AH.

Boghos Nubar Pasha was the son of former Egyptian Prime Minister Nubar Pasha and served as chairman of the Armenian National Assembly. Like his father, he was active in the world of agriculture, raising cattle for show at expos. This medal was awarded to him for his two bulls in 1909, mirroring the medal which his father won just before his death a decade earlier. For this medal, please see our previous lot.
Notes
The abbreviation "S. E." in the name "S. E. Boghos Pasha Nubar" likely stands for "Son Excellence," which is French for "His Excellency." This is a formal title often used to address or refer to high-ranking officials, dignitaries, or persons of note. In the context of the medal and the exposition, it signifies the high regard and respect accorded to Boghos Pasha Nubar, who was a significant figure in both Armenian and Egyptian societies. The title adds an extra layer of formality and honor to the award.
Boghos Nubar Pasha, a distinguished Armenian-Egyptian statesman and son of Egypt's first Prime Minister, Nubar Pasha, was honored with this esteemed silver medal at the 1909 Agricultural Exposition in Egypt. Serving as the chairman of the Armenian National Assembly, Boghos followed in his father's footsteps, actively participating in the agricultural sector and raising cattle for exhibitions. This particular medal was awarded to him for his outstanding achievements in raising two bulls. Intriguingly, this accolade mirrors a similar honor bestowed upon his father a decade earlier, just before his passing.

Awarded and engraved to Nubar Pasha. Issued for the Khedivial Agricultural Exposition held in Ghezireh from 20-23 December 1898. This award was presented to him during the Khedivial Agricultural Exposition in late December 1898 for his 1st place Behari bull in the ‘3 years old and over’ category. Sadly, Nubar would pass away just a few weeks after winning various awards at this show, dying in Paris on 14 January 1899.
Notes
Nubar Pasha, the first Prime Minister of Egypt, was honored with this prestigious silver medal at the Khedivial Agricultural Exposition held in Ghezireh, Egypt, in December 1898. The medal recognized his exceptional Bihari bull, which took first place in the '3 years old and over' category. Bihari bulls, native to the Bihar region of India, are highly valued for their strength and endurance, making them ideal for agricultural tasks such as plowing. The exposition itself was a significant event, aimed at promoting excellence and innovation in agriculture and animal husbandry. Designed by Spink & Son, the medal features intricate artwork, including a pastoral scene set against the backdrop of Egyptian pyramids. Tragically, Nubar Pasha passed away just a few weeks after receiving this honor, on January 14, 1899, in Paris.

Notes
The Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829 was a pivotal moment in the geopolitical landscape of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The war culminated in the signing of the Treaty of Adrianople on September 14, 1829, which marked a significant victory for the Russian Empire and had substantial geopolitical implications in the Balkans and the Black Sea region. The treaty led to the cession of several territories to Russia and established new terms of vassalage for the Ottoman-controlled principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia.
One of the key locations during this war was the city of Burgas, situated on the Black Sea coast of what is now modern-day Bulgaria. The city was captured by the Russian army ten days after launching the Trans-Balkan offensive on July 2, 1829. This capture was part of a larger strategic movement across the Balkan mountains, allowing Russian forces to circumvent the besieged city of Shumla. The capture of Burgas provided the Russian army with a valuable base for naval operations in the Black Sea and served as a stepping stone for further military actions inland, ultimately leading to the capture of Adrianople and the signing of the peace treaty.
The Treaty of Adrianople itself was a landmark agreement that weakened the Ottoman Empire's hold on its European territories and strengthened Russia's position in the Balkans. It led to significant territorial gains for Russia and established Russia's exclusive right to maintain a naval fleet in the Black Sea. The treaty also had far-reaching implications for the Ottoman Empire, weakening its grip on key territories and setting the stage for future conflicts in the region.
In essence, the capture of Burgas and the signing of the Treaty of Adrianople were two pivotal moments in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829. They not only marked significant military and diplomatic achievements for the Russian Empire but also had a lasting impact on the geopolitical dynamics of Eastern Europe and the Balkans.

Notes
The capture of Erivan (now known as Yerevan, the capital of Armenia) in 1827 was a significant event during the Russo-Persian War of 1826–1828. The Russian Empire, led by General Ivan Paskevich, captured the fortress of Erivan from the Qajar Dynasty of Persia. This event was a pivotal moment in the war and had long-lasting implications for the region.
The capture of Erivan was part of Russia's broader strategy to expand its influence in the South Caucasus. The fortress was considered a key stronghold and its capture weakened Persian control over the region. The event led to the Treaty of Turkmenchay in 1828, which officially ended the Russo-Persian War. According to the terms of the treaty, Persia ceded control of several territories, including what is now modern-day Armenia and Azerbaijan, to the Russian Empire.
The capture of Erivan and the subsequent treaty had a profound impact on the demographics and geopolitics of the region. It led to significant population movements, including the emigration of Armenians to the newly acquired Russian territories.
The event is also noteworthy from a cultural and historical perspective, as it changed the course of Armenian history by bringing the majority of historic Armenian lands under Russian rule. This had both positive and negative consequences for the Armenian people, affecting their cultural, religious, and social development in various ways.

Types and Varieties of Yerevan Metro Tokens
By L. A. Saryan Ph. D.
Armenian Numismatic Journal Vol. XXVI (2000) p.109-112
Tokens are important numismatic items that often closely resemble coins and serve a specialized monetary function. Like coins, tokens are generally round and made of metal, but they may come in every conceivable shape (square, oval, rectangular, triangular, etc.) and material (various metals and alloys, fiberboard, rubber, plastic, cardboard, and paper). Sometimes classified as exonumia, tokens are circulated as substitutes for small change when coinage is scarce. Tokens have been extensively used worldwide for the payment of transportation and parking fares. Merchants such as taverns and restaurants have issued metallic "store cards" and "good for" tokens to advertise and promote their establishments. Employers would sometimes distribute tokens in lieu of cash for use in company stores (such as remote lumber and mining camps). Among the Armenians, paper tokens or chits issued by churches and merchants in the nineteenth century Ottoman Empire are known, but for the most part modern Armenian tokens have not been studied.
Armenian transportation tokens, in particular, do not appear to have been investigated in any detail and I am unaware of any literature that mentions or describes them. The purpose of this article is to provide a preliminary listing of four types and several varieties of subway tokens from Armenia. Hopefully, this will serve as an introduction to the topic and will stimulate the interest of Armenian collectors. As more information is gathered it will be shared with readers of this journal.
The first subway in the world was constructed in London between 1860 and 1863. Within the USSR, subway construction began in Moscow in 1932 (first line opened in 1935). The Yerevan Metropolitan became the eighth underground urban system to be constructed in the USSR. Construction began in 1972, and the system opened for use on March 7, 1981. The design work was assigned to "Haypettransnakhakidz," the Armenian government transportation design firm. In Yerevan, as was the case elsewhere within the USSR, lavish attention was devoted to construction and aesthetic design. Station entrances and vestibules were richly decorated with art and sculpture, and technical operating standards were quite high. Noted architects were commissioned to design the individual stations. Users have generally praised the artwork, station design, and overall efficiency of the Yerevan Metropolitan system.
The Yerevan Metro ranks as one of the noteworthy accomplishments of Armenia during the Soviet period.
The Yerevan Metro was designed to move large numbers of people rapidly and efficiently into and out of Armenia's capital. It has the additional benefit of reducing traffic congestion and air pollution associated with automobiles within the city. Cars became widely available in Armenia during the 1960's and 1970's, and a solution had to be found for the rapidly increasing number of vehicles on the city streets. Downtown Yerevan was not designed to accommodate a large amount of vehicular traffic; there are no expressways as such and only a very limited amount of space is available for parking.
Construction of the Yerevan subway was a remarkable feat of engineering, since most of the tunneling had to be carried out through solid rock and variations in the city's terrain called for unusual technical adaptations. Yerevan is situated in a hemispherical bowl on the Ararat plain with differences of over 1000 feet in altitude from one district to the other, and these topographic variations were taken into account during planning and construction. Seismically resistant joints are used in the construction and huge escalators extending several feet into the ground are used to bring passengers to the station platforms.
The original line runs approximately north and south for a distance of about 12 kilometers (8 miles) and comprises nine stations. From 1981 to 1987, the number of passengers carried annually increased from 14 million to 31 million. Extensions and branches of the main line are either planned or under construction.
During the Soviet period, transit fares were nominal and designed to encourage ridership. In 1987, while on a visit to Yerevan, I rode on the Metro and noted that it was filled with passengers even at off-peak hours when commuting to employment was not an issue.
Tokens are accepted for payment of transit fares on the Yerevan Metropolitan. Four distinct major varieties (designated as types in the catalog below) are recorded here: one of brass (showing a large Armenian letter V and an Armenian legend on each side), and three made of orange, brown, or black plastic (each showing a large V and legend
on one side and a depiction of the equestrian statue of David of Sassoun on the other side). The four types are listed in their presumed chronological sequence. Several minor varieties (designated by decimal numbers) are also noted and many others undoubtedly await discovery.
A few observations on the tokens are in order. Only one example each of types 1 and 2 were available for study, and just three examples of type 3. Through the courtesy of fellow collectors and researchers Manuel Panossian and Stepan Dulgarian, however, 50 examples of the black plastic type 4 were obtained in Yerevan in the fall of 1999 and it was thus possible to study their fabric in some detail. Careful examination indicates that the plastic tokens are probably cast in molds (injection molding). Casting sprues are not normally visible, but on some examples a small area on the edge is seen where a sprue may have been filed or chipped off after manufacture. On a few examples evidence of incomplete filling of the molds can be noted. The faces of the black tokens appear to be fairly resistant to wear. Rather, as they are used, the plastic tokens tend to chip gradually on the edges. Examples in the best condition have the edges intact.
The availability of 50 examples of the black plastic token also made it possible to search the lot for manufacturing varieties. Varieties that appear to have been caused by damage while in circulation are not listed. Several different varieties were found and these are described in the catalog below.
In addition to the type 4 varieties, the single available example of the orange plastic 2.1 shows a double struck obverse die (as for variety 4.1) but with the undertype shifted very slightly to the right. This is an important variety, but with only one example available it is not yet possible to estimate its rarity. Examination of the brown tokens showed one with three parallel diagonal lines under the horse in addition to two normal examples.

Casting sprues are not normally visible, but on some examples a small area on the edge is seen where a sprue may have been filed or chipped off after manufacture. On a few examples evidence of incomplete filling of the molds can be noted. The faces of the black tokens appear to be fairly resistant to wear. Rather, as they are used, the plastic tokens tend to chip gradually on the edges. Examples in the best condition have the edges intact.
The availability of 50 examples of the black plastic token also made it possible to search the lot for manufacturing varieties. Varieties that appear to have been caused by damage while in circulation are not listed. Several different varieties were found and these are described in the catalog below.
In addition to the type 4 varieties, the single available example of the orange plastic 2.1 shows a double struck obverse die (as for variety 4.1) but with the undertype shifted very slightly to the right. This is an important variety, but with only one example available it is not yet possible to estimate its rarity. Examination of the brown tokens showed one with three parallel diagonal lines under the horse in addition to two normal examples.

Types and Varieties of Yerevan Metro Tokens
By L. A. Saryan Ph. D.
Armenian Numismatic Journal Vol. XXVI (2000) p.109-112
Tokens are important numismatic items that often closely resemble coins and serve a specialized monetary function. Like coins, tokens are generally round and made of metal, but they may come in every conceivable shape (square, oval, rectangular, triangular, etc.) and material (various metals and alloys, fiberboard, rubber, plastic, cardboard, and paper). Sometimes classified as exonumia, tokens are circulated as substitutes for small change when coinage is scarce. Tokens have been extensively used worldwide for the payment of transportation and parking fares. Merchants such as taverns and restaurants have issued metallic "store cards" and "good for" tokens to advertise and promote their establishments. Employers would sometimes distribute tokens in lieu of cash for use in company stores (such as remote lumber and mining camps). Among the Armenians, paper tokens or chits issued by churches and merchants in the nineteenth century Ottoman Empire are known, but for the most part modern Armenian tokens have not been studied.
Armenian transportation tokens, in particular, do not appear to have been investigated in any detail and I am unaware of any literature that mentions or describes them. The purpose of this article is to provide a preliminary listing of four types and several varieties of subway tokens from Armenia. Hopefully, this will serve as an introduction to the topic and will stimulate the interest of Armenian collectors. As more information is gathered it will be shared with readers of this journal.
The first subway in the world was constructed in London between 1860 and 1863. Within the USSR, subway construction began in Moscow in 1932 (first line opened in 1935). The Yerevan Metropolitan became the eighth underground urban system to be constructed in the USSR. Construction began in 1972, and the system opened for use on March 7, 1981. The design work was assigned to "Haypettransnakhakidz," the Armenian government transportation design firm. In Yerevan, as was the case elsewhere within the USSR, lavish attention was devoted to construction and aesthetic design. Station entrances and vestibules were richly decorated with art and sculpture, and technical operating standards were quite high. Noted architects were commissioned to design the individual stations. Users have generally praised the artwork, station design, and overall efficiency of the Yerevan Metropolitan system.
The Yerevan Metro ranks as one of the noteworthy accomplishments of Armenia during the Soviet period.
The Yerevan Metro was designed to move large numbers of people rapidly and efficiently into and out of Armenia's capital. It has the additional benefit of reducing traffic congestion and air pollution associated with automobiles within the city. Cars became widely available in Armenia during the 1960's and 1970's, and a solution had to be found for the rapidly increasing number of vehicles on the city streets. Downtown Yerevan was not designed to accommodate a large amount of vehicular traffic; there are no expressways as such and only a very limited amount of space is available for parking.
Construction of the Yerevan subway was a remarkable feat of engineering, since most of the tunneling had to be carried out through solid rock and variations in the city's terrain called for unusual technical adaptations. Yerevan is situated in a hemispherical bowl on the Ararat plain with differences of over 1000 feet in altitude from one district to the other, and these topographic variations were taken into account during planning and construction. Seismically resistant joints are used in the construction and huge escalators extending several feet into the ground are used to bring passengers to the station platforms.
The original line runs approximately north and south for a distance of about 12 kilometers (8 miles) and comprises nine stations. From 1981 to 1987, the number of passengers carried annually increased from 14 million to 31 million. Extensions and branches of the main line are either planned or under construction.
During the Soviet period, transit fares were nominal and designed to encourage ridership. In 1987, while on a visit to Yerevan, I rode on the Metro and noted that it was filled with passengers even at off-peak hours when commuting to employment was not an issue.
Tokens are accepted for payment of transit fares on the Yerevan Metropolitan. Four distinct major varieties (designated as types in the catalog below) are recorded here: one of brass (showing a large Armenian letter V and an Armenian legend on each side), and three made of orange, brown, or black plastic (each showing a large V and legend
on one side and a depiction of the equestrian statue of David of Sassoun on the other side). The four types are listed in their presumed chronological sequence. Several minor varieties (designated by decimal numbers) are also noted and many others undoubtedly await discovery.
A few observations on the tokens are in order. Only one example each of types 1 and 2 were available for study, and just three examples of type 3. Through the courtesy of fellow collectors and researchers Manuel Panossian and Stepan Dulgarian, however, 50 examples of the black plastic type 4 were obtained in Yerevan in the fall of 1999 and it was thus possible to study their fabric in some detail. Careful examination indicates that the plastic tokens are probably cast in molds (injection molding).

Notes
The Griboedov Affair of 1829 is a well-known diplomatic incident that strained relations between Russia and Persia. However, the story often overshadows a critical yet frequently overlooked aspect: the plight of two Armenian women who found themselves at the center of this diplomatic maelstrom. This essay aims to shed light on their story through the numismatic lens of a rare medal struck in 1829 to commemorate the diplomatic mission of Khosrow Mirza to Russia.
Alexander Sergeyevich Griboedov, a Russian envoy, was dispatched to Tehran in 1828 with the mission of negotiating terms following the Russo-Persian War. The mission took a tragic turn when Griboedov demanded the release of two Armenian women held against their will by a high-ranking Persian official. This demand led to a riot, culminating in the murder of Griboedov and his staff. While the affair is often framed as a diplomatic incident, it also serves as a stark reminder of the precarious status of Armenians, particularly women, in 19th-century Persia.
The two Armenian women at the heart of the affair are often relegated to footnotes in historical narratives. However, their story is far from insignificant; it is emblematic of the broader struggles faced by the Armenian community in Persia during this period. Subject to religious discrimination and social marginalization, Armenian women were particularly vulnerable to forced conversions and marriages. Griboedov's demand for their release was not merely a diplomatic maneuver but a human rights intervention that brought to light the plight of Armenians in Persia.
The Treaty of Turkmenchay, which concluded the Russo-Persian War, had far-reaching implications for the Armenian community. Among its clauses was the provision for the repatriation of Armenians living in Persia to Russian territory. This set the stage for Russia's role as a protector of Christian minorities in the region, including Armenians. The plight of the two Armenian women serves as a catalyst that tested the limits of this newfound Russian influence and protection.
For those interested in Armenian numismatics, the Griboedov Affair Medal holds a unique place. Struck in 1829 to commemorate Khosrow Mirza's diplomatic mission to Russia, the medal serves as a physical artifact that encapsulates a complex moment in history. More than just a collector's item, it offers a numismatic lens through which we can explore the complex interplay of geopolitics, human rights, and the often-overlooked narratives of marginalized communities like the Armenians.
In conclusion, the Griboedov Affair Medal offers a unique opportunity to delve into the struggles and challenges faced by Armenians in 19th-century Persia. While the medal itself commemorates a diplomatic mission, its very existence opens a window into a significant but often overlooked chapter of Armenian history. As we examine this medal, we are reminded that numismatics is not merely the study of coins and medals but also a powerful tool for understanding the complex tapestry of human history.

The dram, the official currency of the Republic of Armenia, stands as a symbol of the nation's independence. It was introduced into circulation on November 22, 1993, marking a significant milestone in the country's history.
Over the course of three decades since the dram's inception, various series of circulating banknotes and coins have been released. In addition to the standard currency, the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia has issued unique items for collectors, including circulating commemorative coins, collector banknotes, and investment coins.
The first collector coin of Armenia was minted in 1994, and since then, over 440 distinct collector coins have been created. These coins, crafted from gold, silver, and copper-nickel, celebrate notable Armenians and significant historical and cultural milestones.
Utilizing cutting-edge technology in security printing and mintage, the Republic of Armenia ensures that its banknotes and coins adhere to contemporary international standards of quality and security. This commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed, as the nation's currency has received numerous awards and widespread acclaim at esteemed international numismatic competitions. The ongoing, deliberate efforts to enhance the quality of Armenia's currency reflect a dedication to preserving and honoring the rich heritage and values of the nation.

THE LVIV ARMENIAN CATHEDRAL DEPICTED ON A MEDAL
HENRY V. SARKISSIAN
In recent times, there has been a growing interest in the history of Armenian colonies, especially the Lvov colony. The Historical Museum of Armenia's numismatic department houses a medal that holds significance to the Lvov Armenian colony's history. This commemorative medal was minted in honor of the 25th anniversary of Archbishop Josef Teodorovich's service by the State Mint in Warsaw.
Medal Description:
The bronze medal has a diameter of 55 mm and weighs 63.32 grams.
Front Side:
It features a relief of Archbishop Joseph Teodorovich of the Lvov Armenian Rite. He is depicted wearing a cap, a symbol of clerical authority, and a decorative chain from which a panagia is presumed to hang. Surrounding his image is a Polish inscription that translates to "Joseph Teodorovich Archbishop of the Armenian Rite." The medalist's name, Wojciech Przedvoevsky, is inscribed on the sleeve.
Reverse Side:
This side showcases a relief of the 14th-century Lviv Armenian Cathedral. The depiction is accurate in terms of the cathedral's general architecture, though some intricate external details might be omitted. The cathedral's tall tower and central semicircular apse are prominently featured. Surrounding the cathedral's image are symbols of episcopal authority and an inscription marking the 25th anniversary of the bishopric in 1927.
The Lviv Armenian Episcopate, founded in 1367, adhered to the pan-Armenian church center of Etchmiadzin until the mid-17th century. From 1654, a union was imposed, leading to the Latinization of the Armenian Church, with Lvov emerging as a hub for Catholic Armenians.
The medal's portrayal of Teodorovich captures the essence of an elderly individual, with every wrinkle narrating his life's journey. His gaze is profound, reflecting determination and resolve.
The medal's reverse side is particularly intriguing. It's rare for numismatic artifacts to depict Armenian architectural marvels. The representation of the medieval architectural monument holds academic significance. The Lviv Armenian Cathedral, constructed in the 14th century, is a testament to Armenian architectural prowess. Built with Armenian influence, the cathedral stands as a testament to the artistry of Armenian builders.
The cathedral, dedicated to the Assumption of the Mother of God, was erected in 1363 by Armenian founders Shahnshah and Pansian Ashpragamiants. It took seven years to complete and is situated in the heart of Lviv's Armenian quarter. The medal offers a view of the church from Armenian Street, a sight still visible today.
Over six centuries, the cathedral has seen multiple renovations. Notably, in the early 20th century, changes associated with I. Teodorovich were made, including the addition of carved columns with ornamental patterns. However, these modifications didn't alter the church's core essence.
The release of Josef Teodorovich's commemorative medal is rooted in Lviv's rich history of Armenian artisans and medal art. Historical records highlight the prominence of Armenian "moneters" in the 14th century, who were exclusive specialists in Lviv's mint. The Armenian community's influence was pivotal in Lviv's economic ascent, driven by their monopoly in trading eastern goods with western neighbors.
Lviv's Armenian jewelers continued to excel in subsequent centuries, particularly in producing religious and everyday medals. This practice underscores the deep cultural ties between Lviv's Armenian artisans and Western Europe, where the tradition of minting commemorative medals originated.
The Teodorovich medal, a rare numismatic artifact from the early 20th century centered on an Armenian theme outside Armenia, embodies the cultural legacy of the Lvov Armenian colony's residents.
