Lachin – Gold and Silver coin collection presented

AzerGold CJSC, Azerbaijan’s leading mining company, has introduced a new collection of silver and gold coins. The new collection is dedicated to the city of Lachin, renowned for its enchanting nature, rich history, which is flourishing today.

The coin depicts some patterns from “Gasimushaghi” carpet of the Karabakh carpet-making tradition, which is an essential part of Lachin’s cultural and artistic heritage and folk art. The main element of the coin is the eight-pointed star, one of the national symbols of Azerbaijan, along with geometric motifs of falcon (Falco peregrinus), which is named the bird of Lachin by locals. This bird symbolizes freedom, glory, strength, and courage, and its reflection on the coins refers to the wide-spread theories about the origin of the city’s name. The coin is framed with ancient traditional patterns, and a closer look reveals the Lachin engraving, which enhances the design with deeper meaning and elegance.
