| Obverse description | Central vignette depicts the Aghberts monastery rendered in fine relief within a rectangular frame, showing the church building with its distinctive conical spire and surrounding structures. The denomination '1000 ԴՐԱՄ' appears in the lower field beneath the vignette, and the date '2009' is inscribed to the right within the frame. A circular Armenian legend surrounds the entire design along the periphery, reading 'ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅԱՆ ԿԵՆՏՐՈՆԱԿԱՆ ԲԱՆԿ' (Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia). The coin is struck in proof quality with a deeply mirrored field contrasting with the frosted relief elements. |

| Additional information |
Gladzor University functioned in the Vayots Dzor region of medieval Armenia from roughly the 1280s to the 1340s, producing theologians, illuminators, and philosophers at a moment when Mongol rule had disrupted most institutional life across the region. It was never a fixed building — the school moved between monasteries, centered largely at Noravank, operating more as a peripatetic scholarly network than a campus in any fixed sense.
Armenia issued a substantial series of silver commemoratives through the 2000s honoring medieval cultural institutions, of which this is one entry.
