The stamp shown in the mini sheet below was issued by Azerbaijan on 13 Jun 2012. It depicts the Maiden Tower at Baku at the right side of the stamp. A beacon was shown from the tower from 1838 until the city expanded and the light was lost in the background lights. The light was subsequently moved to a nearby island.
