Key information

About the Azerbaijan 20 Qəpik Coin

The 20 qəpik coin forms part of the 2006 Azerbaijani currency redesign, where each denomination was given a distinct thematic identity. This coin reflects science and development through a more abstract and technical design language compared to other denominations.

Obverse

The obverse presents a centrally positioned outline of Azerbaijan, rendered with smooth, raised edges that define the country’s shape against a flat background. The inscription “AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI” curves along the upper rim, following the contour of the coin.

Below the map, the denomination “20 qəpik” is engraved, with the numeral “20” larger and more prominent than the text. The overall composition is clean and evenly spaced, with the elements aligned to create a clear visual hierarchy from top to bottom.

Reverse

The reverse features a complex and layered composition. On the right-hand side, a vertical structural form rises through the design, composed of stacked rectangular segments that step outward, creating a tiered effect. This central structure appears almost architectural or schematic in style.

Surrounding this are intersecting lines forming a network of geometric connections, giving the impression of a technical diagram. Scattered across the surface are Greek letters such as alpha and beta, placed at different points along the lines, reinforcing the scientific theme.

The denomination “20 qəpik” appears again on the left side, integrated into the composition rather than centred. The background remains smooth, allowing the raised lines, symbols, and structural forms to stand out clearly. The overall design conveys ideas of engineering, research, and analytical systems.
