Islamic Coins, Pahlawi Shahs of Iran, temp. Rida/Reza Shah (1344-1360h), gold toman struck for Nawruz 1305hs (Tihran) 1305h, wt. 2.82gms. (Borgomale 86; KM.119), softly struck, uncirculated, very rare
This is the first coin struck by the new Shah as a Nawruz donative before his actual enthronement. It is the last of the traditional gold tomans first struck by Nasir al-din Qajar and the first to show the newly introduced solar hijri date on an Iranian coin. It is an interesting transitional piece between the old and the new currencies. (£1200-1500)
