🔹 Background Information
The Bahar Azadi Gold Coin series was first issued after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, replacing the pre-revolutionary Pahlavi gold coins. These coins remain the standard form of gold bullion and dowry gifts in Iran.
The Quarter Azadi (ربع سکه) is one of the most popular sizes, widely traded in bazaars and gold shops. It is smaller and more affordable than the full and half Azadi coins, making it attractive for both savings and investment.
