Armenia 100 dram Sahak Partev Alphabet KM-124 History proof silver coin 2005

The Armenia 100 dram silver proof coin issued in 2005 is a refined historical commemorative dedicated to Sahak Partev and the 1600th anniversary of the Armenian alphabet. This issue honors the spiritual and cultural foundations of Armenia, celebrating the preservation of language, identity, and literacy that shaped the nation for centuries.

The obverse presents a solemn full-length figure of Sahak Partev, depicted as a venerable church leader wearing flowing robes and a traditional head covering. He holds a staff in one hand while the other is raised in a gesture of teaching or blessing. Beside him appears a stylized stone tablet filled with Armenian alphabet characters, carved in orderly vertical rows, symbolizing the written word and education. Decorative ornamental patterns frame the composition on both sides, adding elegance and balance to the design.

The reverse features the coat of arms of Armenia at the center, richly detailed with an eagle and lion flanking a heraldic shield divided into sections. Below the emblem are crossed symbolic elements, while the surrounding field is smooth and mirror-like, contrasting with the frosted relief. The denomination is placed prominently beneath the coat of arms, and the year of issue appears along the upper rim, all enclosed by a clean circular border.

Struck in .925 silver with a proof finish, this coin belongs to an important historical series and stands out for its artistic clarity and cultural depth. It is an excellent choice for collectors of Armenian heritage, alphabet history, Christianity, and finely executed modern proof silver coinage.
