| Reverse description | The central field features a finely detailed relief depiction of the Capricorn sea-goat — a mythological creature with the forequarters of a horned goat and a fish tail — rearing upward against a colorfully enamelled blue wave background. The Capricorn astrological symbol (♑) appears to the right of the figure, accompanied by scattered stars representing the constellation. The legend CAPRICORN arcs along the upper border in Latin characters, while КОЗЕРОГ (the Russian name for Capricorn) curves along the lower border in Cyrillic script. |

| Additional information |
Part of Armenia's twelve-coin zodiac series issued across several years in the mid-2000s, this piece was struck in a low mintage collector format rather than for circulation. Armenia's zodiac gold issues drew on the country's long astrological tradition, with Capricorn holding particular resonance in Armenian folk calendars predating the Christian period.
