AzerGold CJSC has unveiled a commemorative silver coin
reflecting the rich legacy of Ajami Abubakr oghlu Nakhchivani, the
great architect and founder of the Nakhchivan school of
architecture.


Prepared within the framework of the “Year of Urban Planning and
Architecture” this special issue is dedicated to the 900th
anniversary of the eminent architect. In addition to preserving the
outstanding legacy of the great master, the commemorative coin
serves as a symbolic contribution aimed at promoting the connection
between Azerbaijan’s historical architectural traditions and modern
urban development approaches ahead of the 13th session of the World
Urban Forum. The unique silver coin is intended to draw the
attention of the international community to Azerbaijan’s rich
architectural heritage in the lead-up to this prestigious global
event.


The conceptual design of the new silver coin, embodying
Azerbaijan’s medieval architectural traditions, was developed based
on the principle of harmonizing historical continuity with modern
innovation. Rare architectural masterpieces that Azerbaijan has
contributed to world civilization have been engraved on the coin
using “Smartminting” technology, regarded as a technological
innovation in the field of numismatics. The intricate details and
complex textures created by the great architect on stone surfaces
have been reproduced on the metal with exceptional precision as
ultra-high relief images reflecting their natural colors.







The coin’s composition features the Momine Khatun Mausoleum, the
Yusuf ibn Kuseyir Mausoleum, the Twin-minaret portal located in
front of the Momine Khatun Mausoleum, all situated in the city of
Nakhchivan and regarded as masterpieces of Ajami’s genius, as well
as the Garabaghlar Mausoleum, considered one of the finest examples
of the Ajami architectural school.


Issued in a limited edition, the new coin is intended both for
collectors and for a broader audience interested in cultural
heritage. The coin can be viewed and purchased at the Sales and
Exchange Center located at 3 Bulbul Avenue, Baku, as well as via
the online sales platform www.azergold.gift.
