Key information

About the Azerbaijan 10 Qəpik Coin

The 10 qəpik coin was introduced as part of Azerbaijan’s 2006 currency reform, with each denomination in the series designed around a distinct cultural or national theme. This coin features architectural imagery, presented with a more decorative and detailed approach than the lower denominations.

Obverse

The obverse displays a raised outline of Azerbaijan positioned centrally within a smooth field. The edges of the map are clearly defined, standing out against the flatter background. Around the upper perimeter, the inscription “AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI” follows the contour of the coin in evenly spaced lettering.

Below the map, the denomination “10 qəpik” is engraved, with the numeral slightly larger and more prominent than the accompanying text. The coin itself has a subtly scalloped edge, giving it a softly undulating outline rather than a perfectly round form. This adds both tactile and visual distinction.

Reverse

The reverse features a detailed architectural structure occupying the right-hand side of the coin. The building is characterised by a large domed roof with vertical ribbing, giving it a sense of height and curvature. Fine engraved lines define the dome’s segments, while the base structure beneath it is more compact and geometric.

Radiating lines extend from the upper left area of the coin toward the dome, creating a sense of direction and drawing the eye across the design. Along the upper border, a band of repeating decorative motifs forms a subtle frame, adding texture without overwhelming the central image.

The denomination “10 qəpik” appears again on the left side, integrated into the composition rather than placed centrally. The contrast between smooth surfaces and fine engraved detailing gives the coin a layered and visually balanced appearance.
