Noah’s Ark 2026
A morning at Ararat,struck in silver.
Design side: the ark on the waves, in the foreground a dove with an olive branch, behind it a mountain with two peaks and the rising sun, around it NOAH’S ARK and an Armenian inscription
The mountain
Visible from Yerevan
Anyone who comes to Yerevan can see Ararat rising in the distance. Many houses in the city are built of pink tuff, compacted volcanic ash. At sunrise and sunset, their colour glows brightest.
The mountain is over 5,100 metres high and today lies in Turkey. Beside its main summit stands Little Ararat. On the coin, too, the mountain has two peaks.
The design side
The dove flies towards the ark
In the centre, the ark drifts on the waves, a ship of planks with small windows and a superstructure like a house. From the left comes the dove with outstretched wings, an olive branch in its beak.
Behind it, the sun rises between the two peaks, and its crown of rays fills the whole upper part. Along the top runs the Armenian inscription, and at the bottom right stands NOAH’S ARK.
The design is by Eduard Kurghinyan. It refers to the account of the ark coming to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
The value side
The mountain appears twice on every coin
The value side bears the national coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia. An eagle and a lion support the shield, and at its centre, as the Constitution lays down, stand Mount Ararat and Noah’s Ark.
So every Noah’s Ark coin bears Ararat twice: small in the coat of arms and large as a landscape behind the ark.
The coat of arms goes back to a design by the architect Alexander Tamanian and the painter Hakob Kojoyan.
The first bullion coin of the Central Bank of Armenia
It is issued by the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia, which calls the ark the most expressive symbol of Armenian history. In Armenia, the coin is legal tender at its face value.
It is minted in Germany, by Geiger Edelmetalle AG. To the left of the coat of arms is the mint mark, LEV, to the right the weight and fineness, and below the coat of arms the face value in drams and the year.

The richly detailed design shows the legendary Ark on the obverse, floating on turbulent waves. Above it rises the majestic, snow-capped peak of Ararat, while a radiant sun with its rays symbolizes hope and a new beginning. In the foreground, the dove of peace hovers with spread wings, an olive branch firmly held in its beak – a timeless symbol of peace.
"Noah's Ark stands like hardly any other symbol for protection, preservation, and a new beginning after crisis – just like silver as your personal crisis protection."
Why This Particular 5-Ounce Variant Enriches Your Portfolio
The 5-ounce version of Noah's Ark, minted since 2012, offers you decisive advantages. With an impressive diameter of 60.15 mm, the artistic design unfolds in its full splendor. The various surface textures – from polished to matte to structured areas – give the coin exceptional depth and brilliance.
As legal tender in Armenia with a face value of 1,000 Dram, this coin enjoys special status. Yet its true value lies in its silver content: with a fineness of 999/1000, you receive practically pure silver – a form of investment that, unlike paper money, has intrinsic value.
Silver as Your Foundation for the Future
Particularly good news for you as an investor: profits from the sale of silver are completely tax-free after a minimum holding period of one year! This 5-ounce coin is excellently suited for diversifying your portfolio. While industrial demand for silver – especially in electronics, solar, and medical technology – continues to rise steadily, supply remains limited.
- Industrial demand: Silver is indispensable for modern technologies
- Limited availability: Natural reserves are finite
- Historical currency: A proven means of payment for centuries
- Physical ownership: You hold real value in your hands
- Generational wealth: Perfect for long-term wealth transfer
The Perfect Symbiosis of Collector's Joy and Investment
The reverse of the coin shows the magnificent state emblem of Armenia with the inscription "REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA". The precise workmanship of the details, from the wood grain of the Ark to the fine feather detailing of the dove, makes this coin a true work of minting art.
Compared to smaller denominations, the 5-ounce variant offers you a better price-performance ratio. You get more silver for your money while benefiting from the high liquidity that distinguishes this internationally recognized series. Noah's Ark can be traded worldwide without difficulty – an important aspect for your flexibility.
With the Noah's Ark 2026, you not only secure 155.52 grams of purest silver, but also invest in a coin series with a consistent design – similar to the successful concept of the Vienna Philharmonic. This continuity creates trust and recognition value on the international market. Seize the opportunity and let this imposing 5-ounce coin become the anchor of your wealth protection!
