Notes

The Simon Ter-Petrosyan "Kamo" Centennial Commemorative Medal was minted in 1982 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of the renowned revolutionary figure known as "Kamo". His birth on May 27, 1882, preluded a life of fervent revolutionary activity. Kamo became an emblematic figure in the Bolshevik movement, noted for his daring exploits and critical role in orchestrating expropriations to fund the revolutionary cause. His strategic acumen and daring acts are woven into the fabric of early 20th-century revolutionary history, reflecting a period marked by tumult and the quest for societal transformation. This medal serves to remember a man whose life was steeped in the clandestine and high-stakes operations that shaped the trajectory of Russian and Armenian political history.
