Description
This 2019 1 troy ounce .999 fine silver coin from Geiger Edelmetalle is backed by the Armenian government and features one of the most widely known relics of the Old Testament in the Bible: Noah’s Ark. The Armenian Noah’s Ark series began in 2011 with the release of 1, 1/2, and 1/4 troy ounce .999 fine silver coins. Armenia, known as the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion, became one of the earliest known Christian kingdoms in 301 AD. This coin features one of the most memorable stories of the Christian/Judeo-Christian bible as a tribute to God’s covenant with Noah and rewarding his faith by ensuring his family’s survival from the great flood.
Obverse: Armenia’s national coat of arms, which features a tiny Noah’s Ark, as well as eagles and lions. “Republic of Armenia” and the date, weight, and purity are also inscribed.
Reverse: A larger image of Noah’s Ark depicting a dove flying in the foreground with an olive branch in its talons, symbolic of the end of the 40 days and 40 nights of rain and fulfilling Noah’s prophecy of the great flood finally beginning to recede.
Diameter: 38.6 mm, Thickness: 2.8 mm.
