A 200-denomination "Vasso Abaev" banknote has been presented at the exhibition in the Chinese capital, according to the Telegram channel of the National Bank of South Ossetia.
The Beijing International Coin Exposition is the largest event of its kind in Asia, attracting tens of thousands of numismatics and paper-money collecting enthusiasts every day.
According to the official dealer for the National Bank of the Republic of South Ossetia, collectors have taken a keen interest in this, the Republic’s second banknote.
"They are attracted by its design, which is truly unique. Collectors have asked questions about Vasso Abaev and his contribution to science. They also inquired about South Ossetia—its geographical and geopolitical position, as well as its history and culture," the dealer has noted.
He has also reported that new agreements have been reached regarding the distribution of the currency; specifically, the banknote will be made available on the Chinese e-commerce platforms.
On September 20, the Bank of Alania issued a new commemorative banknote with a face value of 200 zarins, dedicated to the prominent Ossetian scholar V. I. Abayev.
This is the second commemorative banknote in a series honoring distinguished figures from Ossetia.
