Issued with others countries as the Millennium Masterpiece Collection, this Armenian coin is octagonal. The reverse has a coin-within-a-coin effect, having a circular centre with a rendition of a medieval style coin. Armenia, as one of the first nations to embrace Christianity as its state religion has commemorated this historic passage of time by featuring on a special 2000 dram coin a stylised interpretation of St George and the dragon, allegorically epitomising the triumph over evil.
