Armenia 100 dram Salmon KM-153 Red Book Fauna Fish PR 69 PCGS silver coin 2007

The 2007 Armenia 100 Dram silver coin dedicated to the salmon (Salmo ischchan) beautifully celebrates the unique biodiversity of Armenia’s freshwater ecosystems. Issued as part of a fauna-themed series, this coin highlights the importance of native species and their preservation, combining scientific accuracy with elegant artistic design.

The obverse features a finely detailed depiction of a salmon swimming gracefully through flowing water. Its elongated body is covered with intricate scales, while the dorsal, pectoral, and tail fins are carefully sculpted to create a sense of movement. Stylized water currents surround the fish, complemented by subtle red curved accents that enhance the mirror-like Proof surface. The inscription “Salmo ischchan” appears above, with Armenian script below identifying the species. The reverse presents the national coat of arms of Armenia — an eagle and lion supporting a shield filled with historical emblems. Around it are the inscriptions “REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA,” “100 DRAM,” and the year “2007.”

Salmo ischchan, known as the Sevan trout, is an endemic species native to Lake Sevan and holds great ecological and cultural importance in Armenia. Its conservation remains a key environmental priority.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish and graded PCGS PR69, this coin boasts exceptional brilliance and near-perfect preservation. A superb collectible for wildlife enthusiasts and numismatists, it offers both beauty and meaningful symbolism.
