What do we pay for a gold Noah’s Ark?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €119.54 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 oz | 31.104 g | — | €3,718.03 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 999.9‰ (24 carat) pure, so the fine weight and the total weight are almost the same.
Issued by the Central Bank of Armenia, struck in Germany; face value 50,000 dram.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Armenian arms, German striking
The silver Noah’s Ark has been around for longer; the gold version followed in 2017, first as a proof and later as a standard investment coin. It is issued by the Central Bank of Armenia and struck by a German precious metals refiner.
The obverse shows the Armenian coat of arms, the reverse the ark, the dove and the outline of Ararat.
How we value it
We settle on the troy ounce of 999.9 gold. A numbered certificate and the capsule are welcome but not required. We always check weight, dimensions and fineness ourselves, while you watch.
