Armenia 1000 dram Kokh KM-279 Martial Arts Sports PF 70 NGC silver coin 2012

The 2012 Armenia 1000 Dram silver coin is a striking tribute to Kokh, the traditional Armenian martial art that reflects strength, heritage, and national identity. Issued in fine silver and certified PF70 by NGC, this coin celebrates centuries-old wrestling traditions deeply rooted in Armenian culture.

The obverse features a beautifully detailed Armenian church set within a mountainous landscape, symbolizing spiritual and cultural continuity. Surrounding inscriptions in Armenian script commemorate “1000 DRAM” and the issuing country, while an intricate ornamental border with interwoven patterns enhances the design. Fine texturing highlights hills, architectural stonework, and flowing terrain.

The reverse presents dynamic scenes of Kokh wrestling: two athletes locked in a powerful grappling move at the center, flanked by standing musicians playing traditional instruments such as the duduk and drum. Behind them rises a majestic mountain backdrop with partially colored landscape elements, adding depth and realism. The inscriptions “KOKH” and “Ag 925” appear along the rim, emphasizing both theme and silver purity.

Kokh is more than a sport—it is a symbol of honor, discipline, and Armenian identity, historically performed during festivals and celebrations. This coin captures that living tradition in exquisite detail.

A perfect combination of artistry, cultural meaning, and flawless preservation, this PF70 coin is a premium collectible for lovers of martial arts, history, and Armenian heritage.
