Nasir al-Din Shah copper Pattern 2000 Dinars AH1281 (1864), Brussels mint, KM-Pn10, MS64 Brown NGC. A scarce and beautiful pattern featuring the illustrative lion motif with intriguing chestnut surfaces and exceptional detail. While there is little known about the mintage of this issue, one can ascertain that it is relatively low since this was struck as a presentation piece. Truly an attractive, boldly struck example with a highly desirable classification.
