Artsakh declared independence in the early 1990s during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and later issued its own currency, the Artsakh dram, even though everyday commerce overwhelmingly used the Armenian dram instead. Coins like the 5 dram were legal tender locally but circulated very little in practice, functioning more as symbols of statehood than as working money. As a result, most examples that exist today survived with minimal wear and entered the numismatic market directly rather than through long circulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1347\" data-start=\"650\"\u003eSeveral 5 dram designs were produced, most notably beginning in 2004, with imagery emphasizing Armenian cultural and national identity in the region. Today, the 5 dram coin is collected not for its denomination or precious metal content, but because it represents a vanished political entity and one of the few tangible artifacts of Artsakh’s brief attempt at independent coinage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know these are original German coins?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAncient Artifacts guarantees the Authenticity of items sold through a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ethree layer system of protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAncient Artifacts exclusively sources artifacts from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003etrusted and reputable antique distributors\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, many of whom have been selling Artifacts for decades.  \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNext, the Artifact is inspected by an \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eexpert\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eteam member, who is professionally trained in counterfeit detection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e After the artifact passes inspection, the Certificate of Authenticity is signed and the Artifact is packaged. \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinally, Ancient Artifacts gives an\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eadditional layer of protection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e by promising a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003efull refund with no questions asked\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, in the extremely unlikely event that a counterfeit slips through our vetting process.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat will my coin look like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour coin will look very similar to the ones shown in the photos. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour order will include:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOne authentic Republic of ArtSakh Coins\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eElegant protective case for preservation and display of your artifact \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAncient Artifacts relics are guaranteed authentic and have a 100% money back policy.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ancient-artifacts-store.myshopify.com\/pages\/the-ancient-artifacts-mission-promise\"\u003eRead more about our Mission and Promise for authenticity.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ancient Artifacts Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51307400724696,"sku":"CON[NAGORNO]","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/3987\/8104\/files\/nagorno_main.png?v=1768586128","url":"https:\/\/ancientartifacts.com\/products\/austro-hungarian-empire-silver-korona-copy-1","provider":"Ancient Artifacts Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
