| Reverse description | The central field depicts a finely detailed relief of a scorpion rendered in a naturalistic style, its claws and segmented tail clearly articulated. Below the scorpion, a color-printed band in blue represents the night sky, scattered with small stars evoking the Scorpius constellation. The astrological symbol for Scorpio (♏) appears to the right of the central motif. The legend SCORPIO is inscribed along the upper border and СКОРПИОН in Cyrillic script along the lower border, encircling the design. |

| Additional information |
Part of Armenia's zodiac series issued through the late 2000s, these gold pieces were struck in small proof editions intended primarily for the collector market rather than any monetary function. The Scorpio issue corresponds to late October through late November — a calendar association rooted in Babylonian astronomy absorbed into Greek tradition and transmitted westward, the same intellectual lineage that shaped Armenian scholarly culture during the Hellenistic period.
