2024 Armenia 500 Dram 1-oz Silver Noah’s Ark Coin Gem BU

Popular Armenian Noah’s Ark Series Returns For 2024

According to the Bible’s Book of Genesis, Noah loaded two of every animal, male and female, onto a 500-foot long ark to save them from 40 days and forty nights of apocalyptic flooding. When the water receded, the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat. Today, that mountain range lies in eastern Turkey. For centuries, however, those mountains were part of Armenia. In fact, many Armenians consider themselves to be direct descendants of Japheth, one the Noah’s grandsons. To pay tribute to that genetic family tree and to the Biblical story of Noah’s Ark, the Republic of Armenia has released a fantastic silver coin that’s sure to be coveted by collectors the world over.

Design Rooted In Armenia’s Cultural Identity

Released every year since 2011, each coin is struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9%fine silver. Like past years, the 2024 design features famous Armenian artist Eduard Kurghinyan’s depiction of a dove returning to the ark with an olive branch in its beak. The ark is bobbing in the flood waters in the background while a new sun rises in the east. The inscriptions read “NOAH’S ARK” in both English and Armenian. The coin’s obverse shows the Armenian Coat of Arms, year date, denomination, and silver weight & purity. The shield on the Coat of Arms is significant because at the center it depicts Noah’s Ark sitting atop Mount Ararat.
