| Reverse description | The central device depicts the ornate carved stone khachkar (cross-stone) from the medieval monastery of Haghpat, rendered in detailed relief showcasing the intricate interlaced Armenian stone-carving artistry. The legend ՔՐԻՍՏՈՆԵԱՅ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ (Christian Armenia) arcs along the upper field in Armenian script, while ՀԱՂՊԱՏ (Haghpat) appears in the left field. The commemorative date range 301-2001 and the inscription 1700 are inscribed centrally, referencing the 1700th anniversary of the Christianization of Armenia. The Latin legends HAGHPAT and CHRISTIAN ARMENIA appear in the lower field, providing a bilingual identification of the subject. The design commemorates the forthcoming 1700th jubilee of Armenia's adoption of Christianity as a state religion. |
