Below the arms, the denomination '500' appears in large numerals, followed by 'ԴՐԱՄ' (Dram) in Armenian script. The date '1995', flanked by decorative floral ornaments, is inscribed at the base. The Armenian legend 'ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ' (Republic of Armenia) curves around the upper periphery in Armenian Erkat'agir script. |
