VLADIMIR AVANESYAN-FARID (C1934-2020)

Iranian-Armenian numismatist Avanesyan-Farid has passed. -Editor

Iranian-Armenian numismatist Avanesyan-Farid Vladimir Avanesyan-Farid, a distinguished Iranian numismatist of Armenian origin died in Tehran's Firuzgar Hospital on Friday. He was 86.

The coin and medals collector passed away due to old age, ISNA quoted his friend and colleague Amir-Hossein Moeini as saying.

Also known as Edik, he moved to Tabriz in 1938 with his family and started working in a goldsmith shop while he was seven or eight years old, he said.

"Working in this shop was his first encounter with coins and gold, prompting him to collect antique coins, which were no longer being minted, while he was also interested in collecting matches, stamps, banknotes, and medals."

Iranian scholar Ali Shahidi also said that Avanesyan-Farid was very proficient in numismatics, especially in the field of joint cultural heritage of Iran and Armenia.

"Although he had not studied academically, he was also an expert on the history of Iranian and Armenian banknotes and stamps," Shahidi added.
