| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 135th anniversary of the Azerbaijani press, this coin commemorates the 1875 founding of Əkinçi ("The Ploughman"), the first Azerbaijani-language newspaper, edited by Hasan bey Zardabi. The publication ran for only three years before Russian imperial authorities shut it down in 1877, making its legacy in Azerbaijani cultural memory considerably larger than its print run would suggest.
