Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Azadi 1366-1370 (1987-1991) gold coin from Iran is that it was minted to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution, which overthrew the monarchy and established the Islamic Republic of Iran. The coin's design features an image of the Imam Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, on one side, and the Azadi Tower, a monumental tower in Tehran that symbolizes the country's freedom and independence, on the other side. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Iranian history.
