<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1200847, member: 39&quot;]Ah, those I have too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> What is also interesting about these 2006 issues is that the coins and the <u><a href="http://www.cbar.az/pages/national-currency/banknotes/azn/notes" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cbar.az/pages/national-currency/banknotes/azn/notes" rel="nofollow">paper money</a></u> were not only designed by the same artist, but they also have corresponding themes:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 qəpik coin: Musical instruments (see my previous reply). These instruments can also be found on the 1 manat note.</p><p>3 qəpik coin: Literature/writing - also on the 5 manat note.</p><p>5 qəpik coin: the <u><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Tower_(Baku)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Tower_(Baku)" rel="nofollow">Qız Qalası</a></u> or Maiden Tower, part of Baku&#039;s city walls. And the fortifications are also on the 10 manat note.</p><p>10 qəpik coin: a (Karabakh) helmet - also on the 20 manat note.</p><p>20 qəpik coin: stairs - also on the 50 manat note.</p><p>50 qəpik coin: that is a little different; the coin shows an oil rig, while the 100 manat note has various buildings. But even here both designs are economy and development related.</p><p><br /></p><p>The core element on the other side (a map of the country) is the same for the coins and banknotes too. Those 2006 coins and notes were produced in Austria by the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
