What is gold pahlavi coin?

The gold pahlavi coin is a type of Iranian currency that was used during the reign of the Pahlavi dynasty, which lasted from 1925 to 1979. The coin features a portrait of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, on one side, and the national emblem on the other. It was first introduced in 1967 and was minted in different denominations, including 1/4 pahlavi, 1/2 pahlavi, 1 pahlavi, and 2.5 pahlavi. The weight and purity of the coin varied based on the denomination, but all were made of 22 karat gold. The gold pahlavi coin remained in use until the Iranian Revolution of 1979, after which the new government abolished the monarchy and replaced the currency with a new one. Today, the coin is considered a collector's item and can be purchased from various online auction sites and numismatic dealers.
