| Reverse description | The reverse displays a decorative geometric sun motif composed of alternating triangular and pointed rays radiating outward from a central medallion. Within the central circle, three eight-pointed stars arranged in a trefoil-like cluster serve as a stylized national emblem device. The date '1993' is inscribed in the lower portion of the central medallion, beneath the star grouping. The overall design draws on traditional Azerbaijani ornamental patterns, reflecting the nation's cultural heritage. |

| Additional information |
Azerbaijan's first decimal coinage was issued in 1993 as the manat replaced the Soviet ruble following independence in 1991 — a two-year gap that left the country briefly reliant on ruble stocks while the central bank established minting arrangements. The aluminium composition reflects both cost constraints and the hyperinflationary environment of the early post-Soviet transition, during which the manat itself lost value rapidly against the dollar throughout the mid-1990s.
