Product Details

An absolute powerhouse of a conversation piece given everything happening on the global stage right now. This is a 1972 (SH 1351) Silver 5 Rials struck under the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. It boldly features the ancient, iconic Persian "Lion and Sun" (Shir o Khorshid) clutching a broadsword beneath the Imperial crown—symbols completely banned by the current regime. With active wartime tensions making vintage Iranian material incredibly scarce and heavily scrutinized to source, this is pure historical contraband for your stack. 🔥 COIN & GEOPOLITICAL DETAILS: * Year: SH 1351 (1972 Western Calendar) * Denomination: 5 Rials (Persian '۵' on reverse) * Composition: 60% Silver (0.1235 oz Actual Silver Weight) * Obverse: Crisp, defiant Imperial Lion & Sun emblem flanked by wreaths. * Reverse: Value and Persian calendar date. 📊 CONDITION NOTES: * Condition: Choice VF/XF. Bold, sharp lines on the lion's mane and sword with a great natural gray patina.
