25 Dram

Beschrijving voorzijde	A frieze with a lion motif drawn from Erebuni Castle occupies the centre-right of the note, accompanied by a cuneiform tablet vignette at upper-left centre. The bank title is rendered in Armenian script within a ruled panel across the top, while the denomination numeral and spelled-out value appear in the lower field. Fine guilloche underprint in brown and blue tones frames the central design elements.

Opmerkingen	Armenia's first banknote series, introduced in November 1993, replaced the Russian ruble following independence — but the transition was abrupt enough that the dram launched before most of the population had any practical familiarity with it. Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig handled the entire inaugural series, a logical choice given the firm's long relationship with post-Soviet states navigating rapid currency changeovers. The 25 Dram sat at the lower-middle of the founding series and circulated heavily in the chaotic early months of the Armenian economy, when inflation was severe and purchasing power shifted almost weekly.
