The 2006 Armenia 100 Dram silver coin pays tribute to Hovhannes Aivazovsky (1817–1900), the Armenian-born painter famed worldwide for his breathtaking seascapes. Renowned as one of the greatest marine artists of the 19th century, Aivazovsky left a vast legacy of works capturing the power, beauty, and drama of the sea.

The inscriptions 1817–1900 Hovhannes Aivazovsky underline the artist’s name and lifespan. On the obverse, the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia appears alongside a vibrant colored depiction of a sailing ship battling the waves, recalling Aivazovsky’s iconic storm scenes. The year 2006, denomination 100 Dram, and inscriptions Republic of Armenia are arranged along the rim. Struck in proof silver, this coin unites fine engraving and selective coloring, serving as a numismatic homage to a true master of marine art.
