| Reverse description | Left-facing portrait bust of Monte Melkonian (Avo), the Armenian-American military commander and hero of the Karabakh War, rendered in high relief against a mirror proof field. Below and to the left of the portrait, two raised clenched fists symbolising resistance are depicted, resting above a laurel sprig in the lower field. The dates '1957∙1993', denoting his birth and death years, appear to the left of the portrait. The Armenian inscription 'ԱՎՈ ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆ ՍФВԻUБ' identifying the subject curves within the field, while a longer Armenian dedicatory legend runs around the outer border of the reverse. |
