LE MONDE ARABE
IRAN - QAJAR DYNASTY
Nasir al-Din Shah, AH 1264-1313 (1848-1896).
5 Qiran AH 1267 (1851), Dar al-Saltana Tehran. Inscription sur quatre lignes dans un cercle ornementé, entourée d'une couronne végétale / Inscription sur trois lignes dans un cercle ornementé, entourée d'une couronne végétale. Tranche lisse. 26,75g. A 2938G.
Une monnaie splendide à patine de cabinet.
This seemingly unique and elegant coin was struck on a high quality planchet and probably commemorated the conquest of Mashhad by Nasir al-Din the previous year. According to Album, the planchets were most likely produced in Europe or India, as Iran did not have the requisite tools for such production at that time.
