| Comments |
Azerbaijan's first independent currency series arrived amid catastrophic inflation — by 1993 the manat was losing value faster than notes could be printed. The 1,000 manat was a high denomination at issue; within two years it was effectively worthless pocket change, and the entire series was superseded by a second manat introduced in 2006 at a redenomination rate of 5,000 old to 1 new.
The P#13C designation indicates a late printing variant within the 1,000 manat type — differences between the A, B, and C suffixes typically involve paper or serial number style changes rather than design alterations. Worth confirming the serial block against established references before attributing the variety.
