| Obverse description | The Armenian national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting an eagle and a lion flanking a shield quartered with symbols of historic Armenian dynasties, surmounted by a sword, an olive branch, a sheaf of wheat, and a chain. The circular legend ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ arcs above in Armenian script, while REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA curves along the lower periphery in Latin script. The date 2013 appears to the left of the arms and the fineness mark Ag999 to the right. The denomination 500 DRAM • ԴՐԱՄ is inscribed in large characters below the coat of arms. |

| Reverse description | The featured letter of the Armenian alphabet, Ճ (Č̣), is rendered in large, ornately decorated form at the centre of the field, its body adorned with intricate traditional Armenian filigree-style engraving. The complete Armenian alphabet is arranged in a continuous circular legend around the periphery, reading from upper left and encircling the entire design. The highly polished proof-like fields contrast with the frosted relief of the central letter, creating a cameo effect. A small decorative floral ornament separates the beginning and end of the alphabetic legend at the top of the coin. |
