100 Manat Canoe Sprint

Azerbaijan's 2015 Olympic sports series was issued ahead of Baku's hosting of the first European Games that June — a politically significant event the Aliyev government promoted aggressively as a coming-out moment for the country. Canoe sprint was included among the featured disciplines despite having no meaningful competitive tradition in Azerbaijan at the time.

KM#78 is among the lower-mintage pieces in the series, though precise figures from the Central Bank have not been consistently published through standard numismatic channels.
