| Additional information |
The 1 Pahlavi was introduced in 1926 as part of Reza Shah's sweeping monetary reform, which abolished the Qajar-era currency system and redenominated Iran's coinage along decimal lines. The reform was inseparable from the broader modernization program — centralized minting, uniform standards, and the deliberate erasure of the previous dynasty's numismatic identity all arrived simultaneously.
The Imperial Iranian Mint in Tehran had been substantially retooled with European equipment in the early 1920s specifically to support this transition. First-year pieces like this one predate the mint's full production normalization.
