| Obverse description | Central portrait of Bül-bül (Murtuza Mammadov), the celebrated Azerbaijani opera singer, facing three-quarters to the left, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The circular legend '• AZƏRBAYCAN RESPUBLİKASI •' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script, while the denomination '100 MANAT' is inscribed along the lower rim. The date '2008' appears to the left of the portrait, and the name 'BÜL-BÜL' is inscribed vertically to the right. The design reflects a realistic, engraved portraiture style typical of modern commemorative proof coinage. |

| Reverse description | An allegorical scene depicting three traditional Azerbaijani musicians in period costume, arranged across the central field within a beaded inner border. The left figure plays a tar (long-necked lute), the central figure performs on a kamancha (spike fiddle), and the right figure plays a nagara (hand drum). Above the group, a decorative foliate branch extends across the upper field. The overall composition evokes the classical mugham musical tradition of Azerbaijan and is rendered in finely detailed relief against a polished proof background. |
