This specimen was lot 697 in Stephen Album internet sale 28 (Santa Rosa, CA, July 2024), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "IRAN: Muhammad Reza Shah, 1941-1979, 1 rial, SH1327 (1948), NGC graded MS65." This denomination was struck SH 1322-1330 for Reza Shah, who had previously ousted the Qajars. Most dates are common. Among other reforms, the traditional AH calendar, based on lunar months, was dropped in favor of the SH calendar, which matched the Gregorian calendar except that its start date was that of the Hegira. Thus, SH 1327 = 1948 AD. In SH 1310, a new mint was built in Tehran and German equipment installed and new denominations introduced. The pahlavi was raised in weight to match the British sovereign.
Recorded mintage: 5,795,000.
Specification: 1.6 g, 0.600 fine silver, 18 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-1143.
