This specimen was lot 1282 in Sincona sale 85 (Zürich, October 2023), where it sold for 140 CHF (about US$189 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"IRAN, Reza Shah, 1304-1320 SH (1925-1941). 2 Rials 1313 SH (1934 AD), Tehran Mint. NGC MS63. Magnificent condition. From the Kian collection, auction SINCONA 49, October 2018, lot 312. Tied with two others for second finest certified by NGC."
After Reza Pahlavi overthrew the Qajars and seized the throne for himself, he continued the old denominations for several years, substituting his name and adopting a new dating system. The SH calendar is a solar version of the Hegira calendar which, being lunar based, starts on a different date each year. In SH 1310, a new mint was built and German equipment installed and new denominations introduced. This type was struck SH 1310-1313 and is common, altho this example realized 2½ times the catalog value.
Recorded mintage: 4,015,000.
Specification: 10 g, 0.828 fine silver, 26 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 1130.
