AzerGold CJSC has presented a new collection of gold and silver
coins dedicated to the Kalbajar district, celebrating the region’s
rich natural environment, mineral springs, ancient history and
cultural heritage.
The artistic composition of the new collection incorporates
traditional national motifs reflecting Kalbajar’s cultural legacy,
natural beauty, ancient folklore traditions and folk crafts.
A central element of the design features the ornament of a late
19th-century flat-woven mafrash from Kalbajar, a traditional
box-shaped storage bag historically used for storing and carrying
household items. The framing border is inspired by a honeycomb
pattern, symbolizing Kalbajar’s ancient beekeeping traditions,
famous mountain honey, and abundant natural resources. Furthermore,
17 symmetrical lines located at the top and bottom sections of the
coin represent the frets of the traditional saz, honoring the
region’s deep-rooted Ashiq music and performance traditions.
The commemorative coins embody the historical memory of Kalbajar
while capturing the spirit of its ongoing revival and future vision
through modern numismatic art.
The collection is produced on the initiative of AzerGold CJSC
using 999.9 fine gold and silver mined within Azerbaijan. The gold
coins are offered in weights of 5, 10, and 20 grams, while the
silver coin is available in 20-gram weight.
The Kalbajar collection can be purchased at the Company’s Sales
and Exchange Center located at 3 Bulbul Avenue in Baku, as well as
through the official online sales platform.
Manufacture of coins and gold bars from locally mined precious
metals began in 2018, with retail distribution starting in 2019.
With the addition of the Kalbajar series, AzerGold CJSC’s product
portfolio currently features 27 commemorative collections,
comprising 15 gold and 12 silver coin designs.
