| Reverse description | The iconic twin summits of Mount Ararat depicted as seen from Artaxata, rendered schematically with the two peaks rising prominently from a rocky base. The mountain's distinctive silhouette, with its greater and lesser peaks, is represented in a stylized manner characteristic of Armenian bronze coinage of this period. The Greek legend ΦΙΛΟΚΑΙCΑΡ appears in the field, with the mint mark in the exergue. A dotted border frames the design. |
