| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed portrait of Saint Gregory of Narek (Grigor Narekatsi), depicted as a haloed saint facing slightly to the left, holding an open manuscript in his hands. The figure is rendered in a style reminiscent of medieval Armenian ecclesiastical iconography, with flowing robes and a nimbus encircling his head. The Armenian legend 'ԳՐԻԳՈՐ ՆԱՐԵԿԱՑԻ. ՄԱՏՅԱՆ ՈՂԲԵՐԳՈՒԹՅԱՆ' (Gregory of Narek. Book of Lamentations) arcs around the upper field. The composition occupies the full coin face, with the saint's image set against a polished mirror field. The proof surface accentuates the fine engraved detail of the portrait and drapery. |
