Armenia 1000 Dram “75th Anniversary of Leonid Yengibarov”, 2010, is a proof silver coin commemorating one of Armenia’s most beloved cultural figures — the legendary clown, mime artist, and actor Leonid Yengibarov (1935–1972). Known as the “Clown with Sad Eyes,” he transformed circus performance into a poetic art form, blending humor with deep emotional expression.
On the obverse, the coin presents a finely engraved portrait of Yengibarov with his characteristic hairstyle and polka-dot bow tie, reflecting his unique stage persona. The number “75” marks the anniversary of his birth, while abstract geometric designs in the background symbolize creativity and theatrical artistry. His name is inscribed in Armenian and English.
The reverse depicts silhouettes of performers in dynamic motion, symbolizing the art of pantomime and circus. Figures holding props and costumes emphasize Yengibarov’s versatility and his contribution to both stage and screen. Inscriptions include “Republic of Armenia,” the year “2010,” and the denomination “1000 Dram.” The design conveys both joy and melancholy, echoing the spirit of his performances.
Struck in sterling silver with proof quality, this coin belongs to Armenia’s cultural commemorative series. Its artistry and subject matter make it a meaningful tribute to an irreplaceable figure in world performing arts. A treasured piece for collectors of silver coins, theater and cinema memorabilia, and Armenian heritage.
