Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”
CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA YEREVAN2021 Martin Galstyan Governor Central Bank of Armenia Dear reader, We are pleased to present the annual journal “Collector Coins of the Republic of Armenia 2020”. In 2020, as had become customary, the Central Bank of Armenia issued a number of collector coins to celebrate anniversaries of famous individuals: the 100th birth anniversaries of world-renowned French-Armenians Henri Verneuil (a filmmaker) and Jansem (painter), the 125th birth anniversary of the famous Armenian actor Hrachya Nersisyan and the 150th birth anniversary of the talented painter Yeghishe Tadevosyan. Each of these great individuals hold a special place in the history of both Armenian and the world culture thanks to their success and accomplishments in the field of cinema, theater and painting. Another important anniversary we celebrated in 2020 was the 150 years of birth of Gevorg Chavush, a hero of the Armenian national liberation movement. On this occasion, the Central Bank of Armenia issued the “Gevorg Chavush-150” 2 CENTRAL BANK OF ARMENIA collector coin, adding to the series of collector coins dedicated to Armenian commanders from different periods in history. Celebrating the 75th anniversary of victory over the Nazi Germany and its allies in the Great Patriotic War was a remarkable event for the people of the former USSR. The Central Bank of Armenia was among central banks of the former Soviet countries to have issued the collector coin dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the victory, thus once again highlighting the role of the sons of Armenia, who heroically fought against the enemy and contributed greatly to the victory.

Vladimir Kramnik 14Thclassical World Champ (2000 - 2006)
Vladimir Kramnik 14thclassical world champ (2000 - 2006) Vladimir Kramnik at a young age. Kramnik vs Gary Kasparov…someone doesn’t look too worried Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik Vladimir Borisovich Kramnik was born in Tuapse, on the shores of the Black Sea, on June 25, 1975. As a child, Vladimir Kramnik studied in the chess school established by Mikhail Botvinnik. His father's birth name was Boris Sokolov, but he took his stepfather's surname when his mother (Vladimir's grandmother) remarried. His mother Irina Fedorovna is Ukrainian and is a music teacher. Kramniks’ first notable result in a major tournament was his gold medal win as first reserve for the Russian team in the 1992 Chess Olympiad in Manila. His selection for the team caused some controversy in Russia at the time, as he was only a FIDE Master. However, his selection was supported by Garry Kasparov. In 2000 he won the Classical World Championship from Garry Kasparov and then won the unified title when he defeated Veselin Topalov in 2006 to become the 14th undisputed World Champion. Kramnik’s battle to the top are as follows: In 1994, he lost a Candidates quarter finals match for the PCA championship to Gata Kamsky by 1½-4½, and a few months later he lost a Candidates semi-finals match for the FIDE championship to Boris Gelfand by 3½-4½. In 1998, Kramnik was defeated by Alexey Shirov by 3½-5½ in the Candidates match held in Cazorla to determine the right to play Garry Kasparov for the Classical World Chess Championship. In 1999, Kramnik lost in the quarterfinals of the FIDE knockout championship in Las Vegas to Michael Adams by 2-4, including the 4 game rapid play-off.
