Armenia 1000 dram Monastery Noravank colored proof silver coin 2012

The 2012 Armenia 1000 Dram silver proof coin celebrates the architectural and spiritual grandeur of Noravank Monastery, one of Armenia’s most iconic medieval landmarks. Minted in fine silver with selective colorization, the coin captures the monastery’s unique charm nestled among dramatic red cliffs of the Vayots Dzor region. The reverse depicts the beautifully detailed Surb Astvatsatsin Church with its high dome, stone steps, and surrounding khachkars (cross-stones). Ornamental engravings, Armenian script, and the inscription Noravank Monastery frame the composition, enhancing the sense of heritage. On the obverse, the coin bears the coat of arms of Armenia featuring the eagle and lion, the inscription Republic of Armenia, and the denomination 1000 dram. Founded in the 13th century, Noravank became a major religious and cultural hub, especially renowned for its architecture by the master Momik and its role in preserving Armenian Christian tradition. Struck in proof quality and often graded by PCGS/NGC, this coin is a highly desirable collectible that unites artistry, history, and national pride. An inspiring piece for every numismatist devoted to world heritage and sacred art.
