Comment
The final gold coin to the Toman system and the first gold issue of Reza Shah.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1925 to 1941. The coin was issued to commemorate the Persian New Year, also known as Nowruz, which is still celebrated today in Iran and other countries. The coin's design features an image of Reza Shah Pahlavi on one side and a depiction of the sun, which is a symbol of Nowruz, on the other side. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
