Nasir al-Din Shah gold 5 Toman "Medal of Valor" AH1300 (1882) XF/AU, KM-XMV20, Fr-53. 36mm. 14.08gm. A beautiful, medallic coin issued as a medal of bravery, featuring the representative Lion of Persia brandishing a sword with the sun motif behind. Detail throughout is quite bold and the bright surfaces radiate harvest-gold coloration. Evidence of a mount removal is noted at 12:00; however, that is typical for this issue. An altogether intriguing selection.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
