Armenian ruble
Encyclopedia
The ruble was the independent currency of the Democratic Republic of Armenia
and the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic between 1919 and 1923. It replaced the first Transcaucasian ruble
at par and was replaced by the second Transcaucasian ruble after Armenia became part of the Transcaucasian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic. No subdivisions of the ruble were issued and the currency existed only as banknotes.
Notes were issued by the Democratic Republic in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10,000 ruble. Most were quite crudely printed with mostly Russian text. However, three denominations (50, 100 and 250 ruble) were printed in the UK
