| Additional information |
Part of the Central Bank of Armenia's 38-coin series dedicated to the Armenian alphabet, each piece assigned a single letter of the Mkhedruli-adjacent Ayb-Ben-Gim script devised by Mesrop Mashtots around 405 AD. The series was issued across several years beginning in 2012, with individual letters treated as discrete collectibles rather than a single simultaneous release. Տ — transliterated as "T" — occupies a specific position in an alphabet that has remained largely unchanged for over sixteen centuries, one of the more stable writing systems to survive from late antiquity.
