Theruble (Armenian:ռուբլի,Russian:рубль) was the independent currency of theFirst Republic of Armenia and theArmenian Soviet Socialist Republic between 1919 and 1923. It replaced the firstTranscaucasian ruble at par and was replaced by the second Transcaucasian ruble after Armenia became part of theTranscaucasian Soviet Federal Socialist Republic. No subdivisions of the ruble were issued and the currency existed only as banknotes.
