Azerbaijan Banknotes – From Historical Rarity to Modern Design

Azerbaijani banknotes reflect the country's rich and complex history — from the early 20th-century independence period to modern monetary reforms after 1991.

Historical Banknotes (1918–1923)

During the short-lived Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR), banknotes were issued in denominations from 5 to 10,000 rubles. These notes featured inscriptions in Arabic, Russian, and French, with oriental motifs and were printed by Bradbury Wilkinson in the UK. Later, during the Azerbaijan SSR period, Soviet-style banknotes with Azerbaijani text (in Latin and Cyrillic) were issued until the introduction of Soviet rubles.

Modern Banknotes (Since 1992)

After independence in 1991, Azerbaijan introduced the manat (AZN) as its national currency. A major redenomination occurred in 2006 (1 new manat = 5,000 old manats). Modern Azerbaijani banknotes feature architectural landmarks, national art, cultural icons, and are equipped with advanced security elements.
