In 2011, Armenia introduced its own series of silver bullion coins: the Noah’s Ark collection. These Armenian investment coins are globally admired for their 99.9% purity and deep symbolic meaning, referencing one of the most famous biblical stories. The 1 troy ounce Silver Noah’s Ark coin is not only a valuable precious metal investment but also a piece with strong cultural and spiritual significance.
The coins are issued by the Central Bank of Armenia and minted by the renowned German refinery Geiger Edelmetalle GmbH. This collaboration combines ancient symbolism with cutting-edge production technology and precision craftsmanship. Today, the Noah’s Ark is among Europe’s most popular silver bullion coins, known for its beautiful design and global liquidity.
The Noah’s Ark series is available in six sizes at Holland Gold, ranging from ¼ troy ounce to the impressive 5 kilogram coin. This variety makes the series suitable for both novice collectors and experienced investors. Explore the other sizes here.
Originally minted in small numbers, the series now enjoys worldwide popularity, with millions of coins produced each year. The Armenian Noah’s Ark has thus become one of the most widely traded silver coins in the world.
The design of the Noah’s Ark coin, created by Armenian artist Eduard Kurghinyan, depicts the story from Genesis 8:4, in which Noah’s Ark comes to rest on Mount Ararat after the great flood. The obverse shows the Armenian coat of arms, the year of issue, denomination, weight and purity, along with the inscription “Republic of Armenia.” The reverse features the ark surrounded by waves, the iconic Ararat Mountains in the background, and a dove carrying an olive branch in the foreground. The coin has a face value of 500 dram, though its intrinsic silver value is considerably higher.
The Noah’s Ark bullion coin is struck with exceptional precision by Geiger Edelmetalle, making counterfeiting extremely difficult. Each coin displays a sharply defined relief with fine details in the waves, ark and dove. The consistent weight (31.103 grams) and fineness (99.9% silver), along with its reeded edge, further ensure authenticity. Every coin is subject to rigorous quality control by the Central Bank of Armenia, guaranteeing its purity and reliability.

People think of silver as the poor man's gold, which is absolutely the wrong way to look at it. Gold has the most monetary character, but silver moves in times when a financial system is under pressure, at least as much as gold.
Silver is a commodity and monetary metal. Gold and silver have related to each other to some extent over a long history; This is called the gold-silver ratio. Silver has not been this cheap in 25 years compared to gold.
