The dram is the currency of Armenia, and is also used in the neighboring unrecognized Republic of Artsakh. It was historically subdivided into 100 luma. The Central Bank of Armenia is responsible for issuance and circulation of dram banknotes and coins, as well as implementing the monetary policy of Armenia.
When Armenia broke from the former Soviet Union, and after it issued emergency Rubles, it began issuing Armenian ‘Dram’ notes, which similar to dirham means money. The first drams issued in 1993 looked a lot like former Soviet Union banknotes. It wasn’t until 1998 that the banknotes began to look modern and interesting, at least to a collector. The banknotes followed a typical European look with a portrait of a famous person on the left side of the front and watermark on the left. Famous buildings and landscapes are on the reverse.
