Sincona sale 67, lot 4278

This specimen was lot 4278 in Sincona sale 67 (Zurich, October 2020), where it sold for 3,600 CHF (about US$4,740 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"IRAN | Pahlavi Dynasty | Rezâ Shâh, 1344-1360 H./1304-1320 ShH./1925-1941 AD, Gold coinage. 5 Pahlavi 1307 ShH/1928 AD. In wreath military bust to right between the accession date 1304, legend above Pahlavî shâhânshâh-i Irân and minting date below, value in a circle surrounded by a crowned wreath. NGC MS63."

When Reza Shah seized the throne in 1925, he adopted the solar Hegira calendar, which used the Gregorian calendar but deducted 621 years. Thus, SH 1306 = 1927 AD. The gold pahlavi was introduced in SH 1306-1308 to supersede the toman issued by the Qajars. One, two and five pahlavi (shown here) were issued. Originally 1.92 g, it was raised to 8.14 g after SH1310.

Recorded mintage: 785.

Specification: 9.59 g, 0.900 fine gold.

Catalog reference: KM 1116.
