On the reverse side of the 2018 Armenian Noahs Ark Silver Coin is a depiction of Noahs ark.

A single dove flies into the foreground with an olive branch in between its talons. Inscriptions in English include only Noahs Ark.

History

Mount Ararat is spoken of in the bible in terms of Noahs ark, but it is more than just a part of a story. The mountain itself was historically within the bounds of the Armenian empires of old. However, at the end of World War I when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the political position of the mountain changed. With the formation of modern Turkey, the borders of Eastern Europe were redrawn and Armenian lands were lost to Turkey. Prior to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the boundary between Armenia and its neighbors ran over Mount Ararat. After the war, that line was moved and put the mountain squarely within Turkish territory.
