The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, proclaimed in May 1918, was the first parliamentary democracy in the Muslim world — a fact the Azerbaijani government has leaned on heavily in its centennial commemorations. The republic lasted just under two years before the Red Army absorbed it into Soviet territory in April 1920.
KM#83 is one of several issues released by the Central Bank across 2018 marking the centennial, spanning both gold and silver formats at different price points.
