This specimen was lot 73766 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2023), where it sold for $576. The catalog description[1] noted, "IRAN. Pahlavi, SH 1334 (1955). Tehran Mint. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. PCGS MS-65. This frosty Gem displays rich golden surfaces that have been spared from all but the faintest contact marks." This type, struck SH 1330-1353 during the reign of Muhammed Reza Shah (r. 1941-79), was minted to the standard of a British sovereign. It has slightly lower relief than the prior type (KM 1150) which had persistent striking weakness. The coins generally trade as bullion coins.
Recorded mintage: unknown but slightly scarce.
Specification: 8.136 g, 0.900 fine gold, .2354 troy oz AGW.
Catalog reference: Fr-101; KM-1162.
