Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 2½ Azadi 1387 (2008) from Iran made of Gold (.900) weighing 20.3289 g is that it was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which took place in 1979. The coin's design features an image of the Imam Khomeini, the leader of the revolution, on one side, and the Azadi Tower, a symbol of Tehran and a prominent landmark in Iran, 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 and culture.
