This second Manat issue banknote has on its obverse the famous Maiden Tower in Baku, while the reverse has the denominational value in words and numbers written over an ornamental design.
The Maiden Tower that is depicted on the banknote is listed under the UNESCO World Heritage List of Historical Monuments as cultural property, Category III. It is one of Azerbaijan's most distinctive national emblems and is thus featured on Azeri currency notes and official letterheads.
