| Obverse description | Central device consists of a crescent moon open to the right with an eight-pointed star positioned within its curve, both rendered in raised relief against a flat field. The national symbols are enclosed within a raised inner ring. The circular legend reads AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI (Republic of Azerbaijan) in Latin script, separated by raised dot stops, running along the full periphery of the coin. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral 20 is prominently displayed in large raised figures at the centre of the field, with the unit name QƏPIK inscribed below in Latin script, and the date of issue 1992 beneath that. All three elements are contained within a raised eight-pointed star outline, the points of which extend nearly to the coin's rim, creating a bold geometric frame characteristic of early Azerbaijani coinage design. |

| Additional information |
Azerbaijan's first decimal coinage followed independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, and these early issues were struck under considerable logistical strain — the newly sovereign republic had no domestic mint and relied on foreign facilities to produce its inaugural circulation series. The 1992–1993 date range reflects the compressed window in which the manat system was being introduced while the ruble zone had not yet fully collapsed in the region.
