Minisheet of 5 stamps

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.
