The first specimen was lot 4316 in Sincona sale 67 (Zürich, October 2020), where it sold for 400 CHF (about US$527 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"IRAN | Pahlavi Dynasty | Muhammad Rezâ Shâh, 1320-1358 ShH./1941-1979 AD, Gold coinage. 1 Pahlavi 1322 ShH/1943 AD. Name and title above date, lion and sun above value in wreath, date below. NGC MS64."
The second specimen was lot 2525 in Sincona sale 80 (Zürich, October 2022), where it sold for 350 CHF (about US$420 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[2] noted, "IRAN, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi Shah, 1320-1358 SH (1941-1979). 1 Pahlavi 1322 SH (1943). About uncirculated." 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 1322 = 1943 AD. In 1931 the system was reformed and 100 dinars = one rial. This type was struck SH 1320-1324 for the young shah, Reza Shah having been forced into exile for being too cozy with the Nazis. The pahlavi matched the British sovereign in gold content. As the pahlavi was always sold at its gold price, it had no fixed ratio to the rial.
Recorded mintage: unknown but common.
