Mount Ararat is widely accepted as the final resting place of Noah’s Ark according to various interpretations of the Book of Genesis. Although Mount Ararat currently resides within the borders of Turkey, it was historically part of both Turkey and Armenia. Mount Ararat is widely considered to be Armenia's national symbol and holds a significant amount of cultural significance to the nation.
The Armenian coat of arms depicts an eagle and a lion supporting a shield with 4 quadrants with Mount Ararat at the center. Each quadrant is representative of the old dynasties of Armenia.
The obverse of this coin depicts a dove carrying an olive branch in front of the Ark in flood waters, with Mount Ararat and the sun in the back. The reverse shows the Armenian Coat of Arms, the official name of Armenia in both English and Armenian (Republic of Armenia), legal tender, weight, purity and metal type, and a hallmark of the Leipzig Mint of Geiger Edelmetalle where these coins are minted.
