| Additional information |
Aznavour — born Shahnour Vaghinak Aznavourian in Paris in 1924 to Armenian émigré parents who had fled the Genocide — became Armenia's most prominent cultural ambassador despite never having lived there. The Armenian government granted him citizenship in 2008, and he served as ambassador to Switzerland and permanent delegate to the United Nations in Geneva until his death in October 2018, just weeks after his final concert.
This issue appeared in the centenary year of his birth. The National Bank of Armenia has a documented pattern of issuing gold commemoratives for diaspora figures of outsized symbolic importance to the republic.
