Description

🔹 Background Information
This 1977 Iranian Gold Commemorative Coin was issued under the Pahlavi monarchy, celebrating the Shah’s reign and royal family. Featuring three portraits (the Shah, the Queen, and the Crown Prince), it is one of the most historically significant Iranian gold coins.
Unlike standard Bahar Azadi coins used for bullion investment, these coins were minted for collectors and state ceremonies. Their value today depends not only on gold weight but also on numismatic rarity and historical demand.
