| Obverse description | A stylized mountainous landscape rendered in a modernist, geometric style occupies the central field, with a radiant sun depicted in dotted relief to the upper left. A cursive Armenian inscription appears above the landscape in the upper field. The denomination 10000 and the word ԴՐԱՄ appear in bold relief in the lower portion of the field. The circular legend in Armenian script reading ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ ԿԵՆՏՐՈՆԱԿԱՆ ԲԱՆԿ and the date 2008 surround the design. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed bust of Armenian-American author William Saroyan faces left, rendered with strong sculptural relief showing his characteristic thick moustache and flowing hair. The dark mirror-proof field behind the portrait is entirely covered with a repeating pattern of his name in Armenian script — ՈՒԻԼՅԱՄ ՍԱՐՈՅԱՆ — creating a distinctive typographic background. His birth and death years, 1908 and 1981, are interspersed throughout the repeated legend in the field. |
