| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (Artsakh) occupies the central field, depicting a double-headed eagle with spread wings surmounted by a crown, bearing a shield on its breast charged with a traditional Armenian architectural motif. The arms are encircled by a wreath of wheat and olive branches. The date 1998 appears in the upper field, flanked by two sprigs, while the denomination 25000 is inscribed below the arms. The Armenian-script legend naming the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh (Artsakh) curves around the periphery, with the fineness mark .999 visible to the right. |

| Reverse description | A haloed saintly figure, depicted in flowing robes and raising his right hand in blessing, stands in the left-center field, commemorating the adoption of Christianity as the state religion of Armenia. To the right of the figure, a small traditional Armenian church with a conical dome surmounted by a cross is shown in low relief. The inscription ARMENIA / 1700 / 301·2001 appears to the right of the saint, marking the 1700th anniversary of Armenia's Christianization. An Armenian-script legend encircles the entire design along the periphery, reading the equivalent of 'Christianity in Armenia 1700 years 301–2001.' |
