| Additional information |
The International Polar Year 2007–2008 was a large-scale coordinated scientific program involving over 60 nations — the fourth such event in history, following those of 1882–83, 1932–33, and 1957–58. Armenia issued this coin ahead of the program's launch, a notable gesture given the country has no Arctic or Antarctic territorial claim or research station.
