<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 7583255, member: 22377&quot;]The set continues with a relatively hard to find country, Azerbaijan.</p><p>This coin was part of a series of five that honored the First European Games, a version of the Olympics for Europe, held in Baku. Azerbaijan did fairly well, capturing the third most gold medals, 26 (Russia and Belarus were first and second). There is some conflicting information about the mintage. I&#039;ve seen some sources claim as few as 100 while others claim 1,000. Part of the issue seems to be that these were available individually as well as part of a set of five (limited to 100 sets). I&#039;m not sure if that set is part of the 1,000 total mintage or if it makes the mintage 1,100.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Country</b> Azerbaijan</p><p><b>Denomination</b> 5 Manat</p><p><b>Year</b> 2015</p><p><b>Subject</b> Wrestling</p><p><b>Composition</b> Silver 0.999</p><p><b>Weight (gr)</b> 31.21</p><p><b>Diameter (mm)</b> 38.61</p><p><b>Mintage </b>1,000-1,100</p><p><b>Mint </b>Royal Mint (London)</p><p><br /></p><p>Link to coin on national bank website:</p><p><a href="https://www.cbar.az/moneymarks/coins/detail/80" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cbar.az/moneymarks/coins/detail/80" rel="nofollow">https://www.cbar.az/moneymarks/coins/detail/80</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1306761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1306760[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
