Key information

About the Azerbaijan 50 Qəpik Coin

The 50 qəpik coin was introduced as part of Azerbaijan’s 2006 currency reform and stands out within the series due to its bi metal construction. The contrasting inner core and outer ring allow for a more complex and layered design, reflecting themes of industry and energy.

Obverse

The obverse features a central map of Azerbaijan set within a gold toned inner core. The map is smooth and slightly raised, with defined edges that separate it clearly from the surrounding surface. Encircling the map, the outer ring carries the inscription “AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI,” engraved in a consistent arc along the upper perimeter.

At the lower edge of the inner core, the denomination “50 qəpik” is displayed, with the numeral more prominent than the text. The transition between the inner core and outer ring is clearly defined, creating a strong visual contrast between the two metal tones.

Reverse

The reverse presents an industrial composition centred around two tall oil derricks positioned on the right side of the coin. The structures are rendered using fine linear engraving, with cross bracing and framework details clearly visible. Behind them, a circular field occupies the inner core, from which a series of radiating lines extend outward, creating a sunburst effect that spreads across the coin.

On the left side, the denomination “50 qəpik” appears again, integrated into the design rather than placed centrally. The outer ring remains relatively smooth, allowing the detailed engraving within the inner core to stand out. The combination of vertical structures and radiating lines creates a sense of depth and movement, reinforcing the theme of energy production.
