This 2023 Armenia Noah’s Ark coin series is one that many collectors and investors adore for the biblical theme.
The reverse theme of the coin pays homage to the story of Noah and the Ark as described in the Book of Genesis, chapter 8. A peaceful dove is shown flying above the ark at the end of the rainstorm with the sun beginning to rise over Mt. Ararat in the background.
The image is surrounded by inscriptions around the design field that reads “NOAH’S ARK” in both Armenian and English.
On the flip side, the obverse features the Armenian Coat of Arms. It includes inscriptions for weight, purity, year of minting, and the denomination.
The outer rim is inscribed with the words “REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA”, again translated in both English and Armenian.
Each element in the design is crafted with masterful detail and precision with artisans applying different textures to bring the scene to life.
