South Korean Won to Armenian dram

The South Korean won (international symbol: ₩, code: KRW, number: 410) is the currency of South Korea. Pronounced  [wʌn]. The national currency appeared in the country after World War II in 1945.

However, the contemporary won was released in 1962, replacing the hwan which was temporarily used in Korea. The hundredth part of the won - jeon does not exist in the format of a payment tool, and is used only in mathematical accounting. Coins of small denominations of 1 and 5 won are almost out of use.

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.
