Hungarian Forint to Armenian dram

The Hungarian forint (symbol: Ft : codes: HUF and 348) is the official currency of Hungary, introduced on the territory of the newly formed state in the post-war years. The first modern forint dates back to 1946. It is on the list of the convertible currencies of the CLS system.

Forint is divided into one hundred fillers (discontinued). The banknotes depict portraits of monarchs, historical figures, and the images of the related architectural monuments. The encoding uses the international character ƒ. Pengyo was the predecessor of the forint since 1927.

The Armenian dram (sign ֏, code AMD) is the national currency of the Republic of Armenia, used within the borders of this Caucasian country. 1 dram could be previously subdivided into 100 lum. However, there are no coins or notes worth less than 10 dram used right now.

The currency has been issued in 1993 after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Before that, the Soviet rubles had been in use. The country’s symbol on the notes was presented as iconic figures from the Armenian people, and as great architectural and art monuments as well. There is the national coat of arms and denomination decorated with a colorful design. The monetary unit’s name comes from the Greek drachma.
