Coin Highlights: 12th year of release for the 1 oz Armenian Silver Noah's Ark Coin! Contains 1 Troy oz of .999 pure silver in BU condition. Issued a face value of 500 Dram by Armenia. On the obverse is the national coat of arms. The reverse features the image of Noah's ark. Geiger Edelmetalle, a mint located in Germany, issues the coins of the Armenian Noah's Ark Series on behalf of the Republic of Armenia. The coins were introduced in 2011 at a time when silver hit its highest price in history. The series started that year with 1 oz, 1/2 oz, and 1/4 oz silver options available. In 2012, the collection grew to feature four new silver coin weights above the 1 oz silver option. These included 5 oz, 10 oz, 1 Kilo, and 5 Kilo silver coins for investors. All seven coins have been available on an annual basis since that time with no breaks in production for any weight. The 1 oz silver coin has had the highest mintage among the seven every year except for 2018 when the 1/2 oz silver coin sold roughly 63,000 more coins than the 1 oz specimen. On the obverse of 2022 Armenian Silver Noah's Ark Coins is a depiction of the national coat of arms. The national emblem currently in use by the Republic of Armenia is relatively new and was adopted following the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. The reverse side of 2022 1 oz Silver Noah's Ark Coins features an image of the famed biblical ark. Noah's Ark, it is said, was built by Noah and the members of his family to help preserve their lives and the lives of two of every kind of animal on Earth. God had given Noah these instructions to ensure humanity and natural wildlife could continue to prosper once he cleansed the Earth of its sins and those who had strayed from his guidance.
