Key information

About the Azerbaijan 3 Qəpik Coin

Introduced during the 2006 monetary reform, the 3 qəpik coin forms part of a structured series designed to reflect different aspects of Azerbaijani culture and national identity. Each denomination carries a distinct theme, with this coin focusing on education and knowledge.

Obverse

The obverse features a clear outline map of Azerbaijan positioned centrally, with slightly raised edges that define the country’s shape against the smooth background. Above the map, the inscription “AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI” curves along the rim in evenly spaced lettering.

Below the map, the denomination “3 qəpik” is placed prominently, with the numeral slightly larger than the accompanying text. The arrangement creates a vertical alignment from inscription to map to value, giving the coin a structured and balanced appearance.

Reverse

The reverse presents a detailed composition centred around a stack of books resting on an open hand. The books are engraved with fine horizontal lines indicating pages, while the covers are defined by sharper, clean edges. The hand beneath is stylised, with curved lines suggesting the palm and fingers supporting the stack.

The denomination “3 qəpik” appears again near the top of the design, integrated into the layout rather than isolated. The background remains relatively smooth, allowing the engraved elements to stand out clearly. The imagery conveys themes of education, learning, and intellectual development.
