Background

Designing the 1 oz Silver Noah’s Ark CoinOfficially authorized by the Central Bank of Armenia, well-respected private mints in Germany produce these impeccable Noah's Ark coins. The Noah's Ark Silver bullion coins are made from .999 fine Silver, available in a variety of sizes, with the 1 oz version being the most popular. The obverse exhibits the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia, together with the face value of "500 DRAM" and the year of minting. The coin’s reverse depicts Noah’s Ark, a white dove with an olive branch at the beak and Mount Ararat. The morning sun coming over the horizon is shown in the background.
Noah´s Ark is an artistic representation of Armenian history, deeply rooted in the European civilization and culture. As told in the Christian Old Testament, the Ark was built by Noah as directed by God, to save his family and the creatures of the world in the great flood that would become legendary throughout the world. This classic tale is enjoyed by both children and adults, which is why it was chosen as the theme for Armenia’s own Silver bullion coinage.



The Story of Noah’s Ark Coins from the Armenian MintAs the story goes, after Noah’s family and the animals are safe on board, a flood comes, rising higher than all of the surrounding mountains eventually covering the entire Earth. As the flood waters recede, the Ark rests on the very top of Mount Ararat. Noah, his loved ones and the creatures leave the Ark to repopulate the Earth. This epic tale is a perfect fit for striking on a Silver coin for many reasons. Silver has been used as currency for thousands of years, so representing a story that has been around for a similar period gives the Noah’s Ark coins a spirit of historical significance.
The artwork used was designed by Eduard Kurghinyan and includes a dove in flight with an olive branch and Noah’s Ark floating safely on the waters surrounding Mount Ararat. These Armenian Silver coins offer something truly unique to collectors, as they are one of the only series in the world created with widely known religious imagery.



The 2019 Silver Noah’s Ark Coin series pays tribute to one of the most iconic stores of the Bible, loved by children and adults.
