| Beschrijving keerzijde | Left-facing portrait bust of Astghik, the ancient Armenian goddess of love and beauty, rendered in a refined classical style. The goddess is depicted diademed with an ornate headband adorned with a six-pointed star motif, her elaborately dressed hair gathered in a decorative upswept coiffure with detailed floral and scroll ornaments. A stylised flowing water or wave device appears below the bust, referencing her mythological association with water and fertility. The Armenian inscription ԱՍՏՂԻԿ curves along the upper left field, with the Latin transliteration ASTGHIK inscribed in the lower right field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Artsakh — the self-declared Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh — issued this piece during a period of uneasy ceasefire following the brutal 1988–1994 war with Azerbaijan, in which an estimated 30,000 people died. Coinage served a political function here as much as any economic one: asserting statehood through the trappings of a sovereign mint, despite the republic receiving no UN recognition.
Astghik is the pre-Christian Armenian goddess of water, fertility, and love — her cult centered at Ashtishat before its destruction under Christianization in the 4th century.
