Sincona sale 67, lot 4279

This specimen was lot 4279 in Sincona sale 67 (Zürich, October 2020), where it sold for 3,200 CHF (about US$4,213 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 1308 ShH/1929 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. KM 1116. Good very fine."

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.
