The original idea by K. Komendaryan for the dram sign shape, among other currency symbols. The Euro was not announced yet.

The Armenian dram sign (֏, image: ; Armenian: Դրամ; code: AMD) is the currency sign of the Armenian dram. In Unicode, it is encoded at U+058F ֏ ARMENIAN DRAM SIGN.

After its proclamation of independence, Armenia put into circulation its own national currency, the Armenian dram, and the need for a monetary sign became immediately apparent. The shape chosen is a slightly modified version of the capital letter da (which, like the Roman D, is the fourth letter of the Armenian alphabet).
