COINS and CURRENCY of AZERBAIJAN

Azerbaijan’s historic coinage reflects the nation's complex political history, from ancient times to the modern day. At the historic crossroads between Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the design and format of Azerbaijani coins and currency have been greatly influenced by frequent invasions and political upheaval in the region. Hellenic, Roman, Parthian, Persian, Arabic, Turkic, and Russian influences can be seen throughout nearly 3,000 years of coinage. Today, Azerbaijan’s coinage reflects the diverse history and culture of the country.
