Part of the Central Bank of Armenia's ongoing series commemorating the Armenian alphabet, each coin in this 39-piece set is dedicated to a single letter. The alphabet itself was created by the scholar and monk Mesrop Mashtots around 405 AD, commissioned specifically to translate the Bible into Armenian — a political and religious act designed to insulate the Armenian church from both Byzantine Greek and Persian Syriac dominance.
Ղ, romanized roughly as a uvular fricative, is one of the sounds with no direct equivalent in Latin script, a persistent headache for transliteration systems ever since.
