The Noah's Ark 5 oz is a silver coin issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia. This bullion coin is made of the purest silver (999/1000) and is legal tender in Armenia. It always features the same motif, like the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. The obverse of the coin depicts the Armenian coat of arms and the inscription "REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA." Below is the face value of 1000 drams, as the dram is the official Armenian currency. The coin also bears the fine weight "5 oz Ag 999." The year of minting is also discreetly displayed below the face value. The reverse of the coin features a delicate depiction of the eponymous ark. In the background of the ark is Mount Ararat, which is still a symbol of Armenia today and where Noah's journey ended. In the foreground of this motif, you can see the dove with an olive branch in its beak, which, according to the biblical text, heralded the end of the Flood. The English name of the coin and its Armenian translation are also featured on the reverse of this beautiful silver coin.
