The Central Bank of Armenia has put the silver collector coin “Davit Bek” into circulation starting May 23, 2022.
   
The obverse side depicts the fortress wall of Halidzor against the background of Mount Khustup, a torch and a sword. The reverse depicts a fragment of the monument to Davit Bek in Kapan (sculptors: S. Baghdasaryan, M. Nurijanyan, 1978), the arms thrown at the feet of a horse.
The designer is Vardan Vardanyan. The coin is minted in the Mint of Poland.

The face value of the collector coin is 1000 dram, metal/fineness - silver 9250, weight - 33.6 g, diameter - 40.0 mm, quantity of issue - 250 pcs.

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.
