| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color photographic reproduction of the Khotakerats Sourb Nshan (Holy Cross relic), a medieval Armenian reliquary cross housed at the Holy Etchmiadzin Cathedral treasury. The triptych reliquary is depicted open, revealing the jeweled cross at center adorned with turquoise, red, and white stones, flanked by winged archangels in relief on the hinged side panels. Above the central image, a decorative Armenian cross motif appears in the upper left field alongside the bilingual legend 'ՍՈՒՐԲ ԷԹՉՄԻԱԾԻՆ / HOLY ETCHMIADZIN.' Below the reliquary image, the inscriptions 'ԽՈՏԱԿԵՐԱՑ ՍՈՒՐԲ ՆՇԱՆ / KHOTAKERATS SOURB NSHAN' identify the depicted relic, with the year '2016' and the mint mark 'ՌՆԿԵ' centered in the lower field. |
