The outer legend reads 'TÜRKİYE CUMHURİYETİ' on the left and 'REPUBLIC OF TURKEY' on the right, with 'AZERBAYCAN MİLLİ MECLİSİ'NİN 100. YILI' arcing across the upper field. |

| Additional information |
This piece commemorates the Grand National Assembly of Turkey's diplomatic recognition of Azerbaijan's independence in 1991 — one of the first such recognitions internationally, and a politically significant act given the two nations' shared Turkic identity and the phrase "two states, one nation" that has defined their relationship since. The coin was issued under Turkey's broader commemorative silver program, which has produced hundreds of thematic pieces in this format since the 1990s, making individual issues like this one relatively easy to find in the secondary market.
