Additional information

Artsakh — internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but administered by ethnic Armenians following the brutal 1991–1994 war — issued this coin as an assertion of statehood through numismatic means. The self-declared republic had no internationally accepted currency, and these silver issues circulated almost nowhere; they were produced primarily for the collector export market, generating hard currency for a government under sustained blockade.

KM#13 is one of several pieces from the 1998 series using cartographic imagery, a pointed political choice given that territorial boundaries remained actively disputed and unresolved at the time of minting.
