Azerbaijan 50 manat Dada Gorgud on Horse Book PR70 PCGS silver coin 1999

The 1999 Azerbaijan 50 manat silver proof coin, graded PR70 DCAM by PCGS, was issued to commemorate the 1300th anniversary of the Book of Dede Qorqud (Kitabi Dədə Qorqud), one of the most important epic works of the Turkic world. On the obverse, the coin depicts a horseman in traditional attire, holding a string instrument (saz) — a symbolic figure representing the union of warrior spirit and oral poetic tradition. Around the rim, the inscriptions read “AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI – 50 MANAT – 1999.” The reverse offers a minimalist, striking design with the large central inscription “KITABI DƏDƏ QORQUD 1300”, celebrating the anniversary of this cultural masterpiece. The “Book of Dede Qorqud” is a heroic epic that embodies the values, mythology, and wisdom of the Oghuz Turks, combining tales of bravery, justice, and love. Struck in proof silver with flawless surfaces, this coin not only honors Azerbaijan’s literary heritage but also stands out as a rare, museum-quality collectible for connoisseurs of world numismatics.
