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.
(1000-1200 GBP)
