Next to it appears a vertical inscription panel filled with Armenian script, representing historical writings and scholarly tradition. The number “725” marks the anniversary, emphasizing the long-standing cultural significance of the institution.

The surrounding landscape includes trees and natural elements, adding depth to the scene. Encircling inscriptions identify the Republic of Armenia, while the denomination “1000 DRAM” and the year “2009” are clearly displayed.
