| Additional information |
Part of the Central Bank of Armenia's long-running series dedicating individual coins to each letter of the Armenian alphabet, itself one of the oldest alphabets still in active use — created by the scholar Mesrop Mashtots around 405 AD at the request of King Vramshapur. The letter Ջ (Jeh) represents a sound absent from Greek and Latin, one reason the Armenian script was devised independently rather than adapted. The series runs to 39 letters, requiring 39 separate issues across multiple years.
