Muhammad Reza Pahlavi Shah gold 5 Pahlavi MS 2537 (1978) MS65 NGC, KM1202. A striking example of this large-format denomination, with pale-gold surfaces that are alight with original luster. The superbly impressed obverse portrait of the Shah corresponds to the typical strike-softness noted on the emblematic reverse lion design. Fully appealing in all regards, and essentially void of any handling marks throughout the semi-reflective fields.
