YEREVAN, November 13. /ARKA/. On November 13, the Central Bank of Armenia put into circulation a silver commemorative coin titled “Sevanavank,” part of the “Historical Doors” series.
The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of the Republic of Armenia, while the reverse depicts the door of the Church of the Holy Apostles at Sevanavank—crafted in 1486—according to the regulator’s press service.
The Central Bank notes that this historical door is a valuable piece of Armenian cultural heritage; it is housed in the History Museum of Armenia and is protected by the state.
The coin was produced using an ultra-high-relief minting technique on both sides, which allows for the reproduction of the intricate carvings found on the medieval door.
The commemorative coin has a face value of 2,000 drams, with a mintage of up to 999 pieces. It is struck from 999.9 fine silver, weighs 62.2 grams, and has a diameter of 50 mm. The coin features a “proof” finish and a reeded edge.
The coin was minted by the B.H. Mayer Mint in Germany.
