Description
People from across the Muslim and Christian world are familiar with the story of Noah and the great flood God unleased upon the Earth, as told in the Book of Genesis. God came to Noah offering his family a chance at salvation if they constructed a massive ark to save themselves and a pair of every animal in the world.
The story has “real” connections in Armenia, where the resting place of Noah’s Ark, Mount Ararat, is claimed to be located. On the obverse side of the 2016 1 oz Armenian Silver Noah’s Ark coin is the national emblem for the nation of Armenia, along with the engraving of the phrase “Republic of Armenia” in both English and Armenian. The coin’s face value, fineness, metal content, and year of minting are also included on this side.
The reverse bears the image of Noah’s Ark as it floats on the flood waters. In the background, the sun rises over the cliffs of Mount Ararat, while a lone dove flies into the foreground with an olive branch in its beak, signaling that it is now safe to find land as the flood subsides.
Armenian Silver Noah’s Ark coins are struck at Germany’s Geiger Edelmetalle Mint, one of the nation’s four minting facilities.
