The 100 Manat banknote from 1993–1999, issued by the National Bank of Azerbaijan, marks an important phase following independence in the early 1990s. Printed on 125 × 63 mm paper by the Bank of France/De La Rue, it features Baku’s Maiden Tower ruins, the Shirvanshahs Palace Mosque, and oil wells on the obverse. The reverse highlights ornate columns, floral patterns, and the denomination. It includes a three-flame watermark and a solid security thread—standard for the second manat series before redenomination in 2006. This uncirculated note is a standout for collectors of post-Soviet currency history.
