On the obverse of the 2019 Armenian Noahs Ark 1/2 oz Silver Coin is the national coat of arms for the Republic of Armenia.

The broader shield is depicted with an eagle supporting one side and a lion supporting the other.

Reverse

The reverse field of 2019 Armenian Noahs Ark 1/2 oz Silver Coins comes with a visual depiction of the narrative from the Book of Genesis when God floods the Earth for 40 days and 40 nights. Noah and his family built a massive ark to house themselves and two of every animal species in the world to survive the flood. In this depiction, the ark floats on a sunny day as a dove returns to the boat with an olive branch, a symbol to Noah that the floodwaters are finally beginning to recede.

History

The Book of Genesis suggests that the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat once the floodwaters subsided. Historically speaking, Mount Ararat was within the borders of Armenia. It wasnt until the conclusion of World War I that borders shifted and Mount Ararat was relocated to Turkey. Armenia was the first modern nation in the world to adopt Christianity as the official national religion.
