The date '1995', flanked by decorative star ornaments, is positioned in the lower exergue. The circular Armenian-script legend 'ՀԱՅԱՍՏԱՆԻ ՀԱՆՐԱՊԵՏՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ' (Republic of Armenia) runs along the entire periphery of the coin.

Reverse description The central field depicts the heraldic emblem of the Artashesyan (Artaxiad) Dynasty, featuring two confronted eagles with outstretched wings facing one another, their bodies flanking a central rosette or floral medallion rendered in relief. Four decorative star motifs are scattered in the lower field below the eagles. A border of raised dots frames the inner design, and the circular Armenian-script legend reading 'ՀԱՅՈՑ ՊԵՏԱԿԱՆՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ ԱՐՏԱՇԵՍՅԱՆ ԹԱԳԱՎՈՐՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ' (Armenian State: Artaxiad Kingdom) runs around the full periphery, separated by star-shaped ornamental stops.
