The denomination "50" appears in large numerals at the base of the centre, with the word "QƏPİK" inscribed below in the field. The circular legend "AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI" (Republic of Azerbaijan) runs along the upper arc of the stainless steel outer ring, rendered in raised Latin script. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised composition of oil derricks rendered in the brass-plated steel centre, referencing Azerbaijan's historic petroleum industry. Behind the derricks, a large sun with radiating rays rises prominently, its beams extending across both the centre and into the stainless steel outer ring. The denomination "50" is inscribed in large raised numerals at the lower left of the centre, with the word "QƏPİK" below. No additional legend appears on this face, with the design relying on the bold industrial and solar imagery as the primary decorative elements. |

| Additional information |
Azerbaijan's second coin series launched in 2006 as the country rebuilt monetary infrastructure following the catastrophic hyperinflation of the early 1990s, when the manat lost virtually all its value and coins disappeared from circulation entirely for years. The bimetallic construction was a deliberate policy choice — brass-plated steel centers are cheaper to produce than solid brass, a practical concession for a denomination that needed to actually circulate.
Production ended in 2011, superseded by the third series issued ahead of currency redenomination pressures.
