Description
The Iranian 1/4 Pahlavi Mohammad Reza Shah gold coin is a historically significant and collectible piece of currency minted during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran. Struck in 90% pure gold, this coin is part of the Pahlavi series, which was introduced as a symbol of Iran’s modernization and economic strength under the Pahlavi dynasty.
The obverse of the coin features a detailed portrait of Mohammad Reza Shah in military attire, symbolizing his authority and leadership. Surrounding the portrait is an inscription in Persian, which typically includes the Shah’s name and title. The reverse side showcases the iconic Lion and Sun emblem, a traditional symbol of Iran, accompanied by inscriptions denoting the coin’s denomination and year of minting, based on the Persian calendar.
Weighing approximately 2.03 grams, the 1/4 Pahlavi coin is smaller in size compared to its 1/2 and full Pahlavi counterparts, making it a more accessible option for collectors and investors. Its gold content and historical significance have made it a sought-after item among numismatists and those interested in Iranian history. The coin serves as a tangible reminder of Iran’s rich cultural heritage and the Pahlavi era’s influence on the nation’s modern history.
