About Armenian Carpets:

The term "Armenian Carpet" designates, but is not limited to, "tufted rugs" or "knotted carpets" woven in Armenia or by Armenians from pre-Christian times to the present.

 It also includes a number of flat woven textiles. The term covers a large variety of types and sub-varieties. 

Due to their intrinsic fragility, almost nothing survives -neither carpets nor fragments - from antiquity until the late medieval period.

Traditionally, since ancient times the carpets were used in Armenia to cover floors, decorate interior walls, sofas, chairs, beds and tables.

Up to present the carpets often serve as entrance veils, decoration for church altars and vestry. 

Starting to develop in Armenia as a part of everyday life, carpet weaving was a must in every Armenian family, with the carpet making and rug making being almost women's occupation.

 Armenian carpets are unique "texts" composed of the ornaments where sacred symbols reflect the beliefs and religious notions of the ancient ancestors of the Armenians that reached us from the depth of centuries.

The Armenian carpet and rug weavers preserved strictly the traditions.

The imitation and presentation of one and the same ornament-ideogram in the unlimited number of the variations of styles and colors contain the basis for the creation of any new Armenian carpet. 

As such, the characteristic trait of Armenian carpets is the triumph of the variability of ornaments that is increased by the wide gamut of natural colors and tints.

The Postage Stamp:

On 19.12.2022, a postage stamp dedicated to the theme “Armenian carpets” has been put into circulation.

The first embroidered Armenian postage stamp postage stamp with the nominal value of 3000 AMD depicts a part of the pattern used in "Khndzoresk" carpets.

The postage stamp has a unique format as it is fully embroidered and has a self-adhesive backing. The embroidery edge mimics postage stamp perforation.

The type of "Khndzoresk" carpet belongs to a separate subgroup of dragon carpets.

"Khndzoresk" carpet is characterized by an ornament symbolizing eternity (swastika, star, etc.) and eight stylized images of a dragon framing it.

 This type of a carpet is typical for the carpet-making centers of Artsakh and Syunik.

2618) "Jerusalem", Israel: A 1oz. Pure Silver Bullion Coin/Round minted by the Israel Coins and Medals Corporation (ICMC): Year of Coin/Round issue: 2023:

Jerusalem is a city in Western Asia, situated on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

It is one of the oldest cities in the world and is considered to be a holy city for the three major Abrahamic religions -Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. 

Both Israelis and Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power. Because of this dispute, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.

Throughout its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, captured and recaptured 44 times, and attacked 52 times.

The part of Jerusalem called the "City of David" shows first signs of settlement in the 4th millennium BCE, in the shape of encampments of nomadic shepherds.

During the Canaanite period (14th century BCE), Jerusalem was named as "Urusalim" on ancient Egyptian tablets, (probably meaning "City of Shalem") after a Canaanite deity. 

During the Israelite period, significant construction activity in Jerusalem began in the 9th century BCE (Iron Age II), and by the 8th century BCE, the city had developed into the religious and administrative centre of the Kingdom of Judah.

In 1538, the city walls were rebuilt for a last time around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire. 

Presently those walls define the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into four-quarters – known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim quarters.

The Old City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1981 and is on the "List of World Heritage in Danger".

Since 1860, Jerusalem has grown far beyond the Old City's boundaries. 

In 2022, Jerusalem had a population of some 971,800 residents, of which almost 60% were Jews and almost 38% were Palestinians/Muslims and 2% were Christians.

According to the Hebrew Bible, King David conquered the city from the Jebusites and established it as the capital of the United Kingdom of Israel, and his son, King Solomon, commissioned the building of the First Temple.

Modern scholars believe that Jews branched out of the Canaanite peoples and culture through the development of a distinct monolatrous—and later monotheistic—religion centred on El/Yahweh.

These foundational events, straddling the dawn of the 1st millennium BCE, assumed central symbolic importance for the Jewish people.

The holiness of Jerusalem in Christianity, conserved in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, which Christians adopted as their own "Old Testament", was reinforced by the New Testament account of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection there.

 In Sunni Islam, Jerusalem is the third-holiest city, after Mecca and Medina.

 The city was the first qibla, the standard direction for Muslim prayers (salah) and in Islamic tradition, Muhammad made his Night Journey there in 621 AD, ascending to heaven where he spoke to God, according to the Quran.

 As a result, despite having an area of only 0.9 km2 (3⁄8 sq mi), the Old City is home to many sites of seminal religious importance, among them the Temple Mount with its Western Wall, Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

The Silver Coin/Round:

The Reverse of this beautiful Coin/Round is titled - "Jerusalem" adorned with an impressive artistic collage of the prominent buildings and sites of Jerusalem, as if viewed through one of Jerusalem's arched windows.

The Obverse of the Coin/Round bears the Holy Land Mint logo, metal fineness (0.999 FINE SILVER) and weight (ONE TROY OUNCE).
