On the reverse of the Armenian Silver Noahs Ark coin youll find the imagery commonly described in the Genesis flood narrative from the Christian bible. Noahs Ark is said to have floated on the flood waters for 40 days, eventually coming to rest on Mount Ararat after a dove returned to the ship with an olive branch in its beak.
The obverse of all 1 oz Armenian Silver Noahs Ark Coins includes the coat of arms for Armenia. In the center of the shield is a depiction of the biblical tale, with a small ark clearly visible atop Ararat and flood waters below. To the left of the shield is an eagle, while the right boasts a lion.
