Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, this coin was struck just three years after Armenia joined the organization in 1992 — itself a consequence of the Soviet dissolution the previous year. Armenia's admission came at a moment when the country was simultaneously fighting a war in Nagorno-Karabakh and managing a near-total economic blockade from Turkey and Azerbaijan.
