Artsakh Karabakh 1000 dram Christianity Church PR 65 PCGS silver coin 2003

The 2003 Artsakh Karabakh 1000 Dram Christianity silver coin, certified PCGS PR65 Proof, commemorates 1700 years since Armenia adopted Christianity as its state religion in 301 AD. Its detailed design portrays Saint Gregory the Illuminator, the central figure in Armenia's Christianization, with a halo, long beard, flowing robes and raised blessing hand. A small Armenian church with a steep roof and cross appears beside him, symbolizing centuries of religious heritage. The reverse features the Artsakh coat of arms, displaying a crowned eagle with outstretched wings, a central shield with architectural motifs, radiating sunbeams, ornamental branches and decorative laurel sprigs. Armenia is traditionally recognized as the first kingdom to adopt Christianity as its official religion, a milestone that profoundly shaped its culture, architecture and national identity. With its elegant silver Proof finish, historical significance and PCGS certification, this commemorative is a meaningful addition to any collection.
