| Reverse description | The central field features a crowned lion passant to the left, rendered in high relief, grasping an upright patriarchal cross-staff in its right forepaw — the heraldic emblem of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia. The lion is surrounded by stylised floral and foliate ornaments arranged in a decorative border, with a beaded inner circle framing the composition. The Armenian-script legend 'ՀԱՅՈՑ ՊԵՏԱԿԱՆՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ * ԿԻԼԻԿՅԱՆ ԹԱԳԱՎՈՐՈՒԹՅՈՒՆ' (Armenian State: Cilician Kingdom) arcs around the periphery, divided by an ornamental rosette stop. A six-petalled rosette motif appears at the base of the field below the lion. The overall design evokes medieval Armenian coinage iconography. |
