Due to the lack of foreign currency, it was not possible to buy the entire circulation of stamps from the Parisian printing house Chaspo, which explains the sending to Armenia of only a part of the circulation, represented by stamps of the first five denominations - 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 rubles. They were received in Erivan in the last days of November, by the time Armenia was declared a Soviet republic.
The USSR People's Commissariat of Postal Service did not issue these stamps for public circulation. Subsequently, they were transferred to the Narkomfin of the USSR and, after overprinting them in the form of the state emblem of the USSR of Armenia, they were used as fiscal stamps.
The part of the print run that remained in the Paris printing house was purchased in 1921 by foreign representatives of the former government of Armenia and transferred to philatelic shops for sale.
The philatelic market also received test copies of stamps and a printing defect of the Paris edition. - Buy Now:

On a limited number of stamps with denominations of 1, 3, 5, 10 and 15 rubles, the printing house overprinted the word "SPECIMEN". These stamps were intended to be sent to Switzerland to the Universal Postal Union (UPU), to which in October 1920 an application was submitted for the admission of Armenia to the membership of this Union.
However, due to the change of government, the question of Armenia's accession to the Universal Postal Union was dropped, and stamps with the overprint "SPECIMEN" also entered the foreign philatelic markets. - Buy Now:
