| Additional information |
Azerbaijan's post-Soviet central bank issued this gold piece during a period of aggressive currency reform — the country had replaced the severely devalued manat at a ratio of 5,000:1 just one year earlier in 2006, making 2005 the last year of the old monetary system. These small-denomination gold issues were never intended for circulation; they were produced as bullion-adjacent collectibles at a moment when the state was actively trying to project institutional credibility.
The Schön 15a designation suggests a variety distinction worth confirming against known die differences in the series.
