Armenia 1000 dram Establishment of College Philanthropic Academy PR70 PCGS 2021

The Armenia 1000 dram “200th Anniversary of the Armenian College and Philanthropic Academy in Kolkata” silver coin (2021) pays tribute to one of the most significant educational and cultural institutions of the Armenian diaspora. Founded in 1821, the academy in Kolkata (India) became a center for preserving Armenian language, heritage, and values far from the homeland. This Proof silver coin, graded PR70 DCAM by PCGS, celebrates two centuries of education, philanthropy, and cultural continuity.

On the obverse, the coin features the detailed coat of arms of the academy, with flags, crowns, a radiant sun, and symbolic figures, accompanied by the inscription “200 years” and Armenian lettering. The reverse presents the architectural image of the academy’s building in Kolkata, with its recognizable tower and palm trees in the foreground. The inscription “Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia” encircles the top, while “1000 dram” and the year of issue “2021” are shown below.

A flawless Proof strike, this coin honors both Armenia’s national pride and the enduring legacy of its diaspora. A valuable addition for collectors of cultural and educational commemoratives.
