Armenia 25 dram Temple of Garni proof silver coin 1994

The Armenian 25 dram silver coin issued in 1994 is dedicated to one of the most significant monuments of national heritage — the Temple of Garni. This Hellenistic-style temple, built in the 1st century AD and devoted to the sun god Mihr, is the only surviving pagan temple in Armenia, symbolizing the bridge between the country’s ancient history and its Christian legacy. The reverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of the majestic temple with its classical columns and triangular pediment, accompanied by an inscription in Armenian “Garni Temple.” The obverse bears the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia, with an eagle and a lion supporting a heraldic shield that depicts Mount Ararat, Noah’s Ark, a sword, a wheat ear, a lion, and an eagle. The denomination of 25 dram and the year 1994 complete the composition, encircled by the inscription “Republic of Armenia.” Struck in proof silver, this coin is a remarkable tribute to Armenia’s ancient culture and architectural pride.
