Hello, everyone! I saw this plate with Armenian text while walking in Gülhane Park in Istanbul. Does anyone know what's written on it?

I bet you've probably never seen them. Russian and Abkhazian passport control officers don't put entry stamps in passports because it can cause problems when crossing the Georgian border. I personally asked them to put it in my boarding pass. At first, they refused, but then I persuaded them:)

Banknotes of the unrecognized Republic of Abkhazia.

Of course, the official currency, which is used by most people is the Russian ruble. But these ones were issued by the National Bank of Abkhazia as collectibles.

I hope it will be interesting 😅
