Qajar. Muzaffar al-Din Shah silver 5000 Dinars (5 Kran) AH 1322 (1904) AU50 PCGS, Tehran mint, KM980, Dav-287, Kian-161 (RRR). Struck to commemorate the Shah's birth. A superb rarity within the late Qajar silver series, with examples of this one-year commemorative virtually never escaping the VF level, and frequently found mounted or cleaned. Still holding die polish around the sun and lion motif, the present specimen is one of just two pieces certified at this level, with just one having been awarded Mint State between NGC and PCGS combined.
