| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Azerbaijan occupies the right-centre of the field, depicting an eight-pointed star enclosing a flame motif, supported by oak and wheat branches below. To the left, a large stylised crescent embraces an ornamental geometric lattice design rendered in a traditional Azerbaijani decorative style against a mirror-polished background. The legend AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI curves along the upper rim, while the denomination 5 MANAT appears in the lower exergue, flanked by two small eight-pointed star ornaments. |

Azerbaijan's commemorative silver program has leaned heavily on national sports since the country began aggressively positioning itself as a host nation for international athletics — most visibly with the 2015 European Games held in Baku, the first edition of that competition ever staged. This coin was issued in direct connection with those Games, making it one of a coordinated series rather than a standalone release.
The European Games were awarded to Baku in 2012 amid considerable political controversy, with critics noting the selection process lacked the transparency of established Olympic Committee procedures.
