This specimen was lot 3316 in Stephen Album sale 39 (Santa Rosa, CA, January 2021), where it sold for $228. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Iran|IRAN]]: Nasir al-Din Shah, 1848-1896, AV 5000 dinars, Tehran, AH1305, EF, ex Dabestani Collection." The Qajar Dynasty began when Mohammad Khan Qajar seized Mashhad (then under Durrani suzerainty – see [[Afghanistan]]) and put an end to the Afsharid Dynasty. The Qajars were forced to fight several defensive wars against [[Russia]], losing territory each time. Foreign powers became more involved in [[Iran|Persia]] as the strategic nature of the region became clear. The empire was nearly bankrupt by the end of the 1800’s, and the dynasty finally fell when Reza Khan, a commander of the Persian Cossack Brigade, led a coup d’etat and launched the Pahlavi Dynasty in 1925 AD. This tiny gold coin is listed for AH 1297-1313; this denomination was also struck in [[Iran AH1320 5000 dinars|silver]].
