Traditional Iranian coins have a rich history dating back centuries. One of the most famous and iconic traditional Iranian coins is the gold “Pahlavi” coin, named after the Pahlavi dynasty which ruled Iran from the early 20th century until the Iranian Revolution in 1979.
The Pahlavi coin features the portrait of the ruling monarch, along with inscriptions in Persian script. These coins were issued in various denominations, including gold, silver, and copper.
