Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Pahlavi coin was designed by the Iranian artist and sculptor, Abdollah Mokri. Mokri was a prominent artist in Iran during the 20th century and was known for his work in various fields, including sculpture, painting, and numismatics. He designed several coins and banknotes for the Iranian government during the Pahlavi dynasty, including the Pattern 5 Pahlavi coin. The coin's design features a portrait of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran, on one side, and a stylized representation of the Iranian flag on the other. The coin was minted in bronze and was intended to be used as a circulating coin in Iran, but it was never officially released into circulation. Today, the Pattern 5 Pahlavi coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
