Translation needed

[Brian]

Looking for somebody to translate some writing on the back of a cross that my wife's grandmother gave to her. Attached is a photo of the cross which is attached to a gold Turkish 100 piastres coin. The writing is definetly Armenian. Please reply to [email protected]

Thank you

Re: Translation needed

Armenian says: "S. Ejmiatsin" .. the S. is for "Surb" meaning Holy. Here's more info.

Re: Translation needed

Probably you already know, but the coin is dated 1909 (according to current calendar) and belongs to the period of Sultan Reşad.

Dia dhuit mo chara,

Sip is right, S. Ejmiatsin, Surb is Holy in Armenian, Surp for W. Armenian, which is the Ottoman Empire branch of Armenian, Eastern is Russian/Persian Empire, the language shift occurred during the 1600s

Thanks for the reply. I tried to figure out the date today but missed it by 33 years. I thought it was 1876. Thank you.
