Islamic Coins, Qajar Shahs of Iran, Muhammad 'Ali Shah (1324-1327h), silver 5 qirans/5,000 dinars, (Tihran) 1327h, plain edge pattern, wt. 22.59gms. (Rabino di Borgomale, Coins, Medals and Seals of the Shahs of Iran 686; KM.A50), extremely fine, very rare
The currency strikes of this crown size coin are normally very crude, and do not do justice to the attractive dies from which they were struck. This coin deserves a place in any cabinet of modern Islamic coins. (£1500-2000)
This is a silver issue.
