| Obverse description | Three-quarter facing effigy of the medieval Azerbaijani poet and philosopher Nizami Ganjavi, depicted in traditional robes with hands clasped, set against an architectural background suggestive of a classical Eastern setting. The legend 'AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI' arcs around the upper periphery, with 'NİZAMİ GƏNCƏVİ' inscribed across the upper field behind the portrait. The date '2008' appears to the left of the figure, and the denomination '100 MANAT' is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin. |

| Reverse description | Detailed depiction of the miniature painting 'Young Man with a Book' attributed to the 16th-century Tabriz court artist Sultan Muhammad, rendered in fine relief within the coin's field. The composition shows a youthful seated figure absorbed in reading, surrounded by naturalistic trees and foliage in a stylized Persian miniature tradition. A decorative rope-pattern border encircles the entire design, framing the scene against a smooth, mirror-like proof field. The artistic rendering closely follows the intricate line work characteristic of Safavid-era manuscript illumination. |
