| 裏面の説明 | The reverse bears a finely detailed high-relief effigy of the 7th-century Armenian scholar and polymath Anania Shirakatsi, shown in three-quarter view, seated and in contemplative pose with one hand raised to his chin, dressed in period robes. To the right of the figure, the numeral '1400' in large bold characters commemorates the 1400th anniversary of his birth, with the Armenian legend 'ԱՄYAK' below it. A bilingual circular legend in Latin and Armenian — 'ANANIA SHIRAKATSI' and 'ԱՆANIA ՇIRAKACI' — runs along the upper rim. A small mintmark appears in the lower right field. |

Anania Shirakatsi was a 7th-century Armenian scholar whose works on cosmography, mathematics, and calendar reform were so far ahead of provincial intellectual norms that later historians debated whether his manuscripts could genuinely be that early. He argued, correctly, that the Earth was spherical at a time when that position required active defense. Armenia issued this coin as part of a broader commemorative series honoring figures central to Armenian cultural identity — a program that accelerated notably in the post-Soviet years as the republic worked to anchor its national narrative in pre-Russian, pre-Ottoman history.
