Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, on one side, and the Iranian coat of arms on the other. The coin was issued in 1978, just a year before the Iranian Revolution, which led to the overthrow of the Shah's government and the establishment of an Islamic republic. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, as it represents a significant moment in Iran's history.
