Comment

One year type struck in 1931 with new minting machinery supplied by Germany.

The Iranian parliament had approved on 16 February 1931 a loan to the ministry of trade and industry to meet the capital expenditure required for the establishment of a mint. The machinery and required equipment for this new mint had been ordered in Germany. Moreover, in February 1931 two German experts were appointed to run the operations of the mint.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 25 Dīnār - Rezā Pahlavī 1310 (1931) coin from Iran is that it features a portrait of Reza Shah Pahlavi, the first shah of the Pahlavi dynasty, who ruled Iran from 1925 until his overthrow in 1941. This coin was minted during his reign and features his image on the obverse side, while the reverse side shows the Iranian coat of arms and the denomination. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's composition was a common practice during this time period, as it was a durable and cost-effective material for coin production.
