This denomination ran across nearly two decades of Pahlavi-era monetary policy, a period when Iran's oil revenues were reshaping the economy faster than the rial's purchasing power could keep pace. The 1973 oil embargo windfall accelerated inflation sharply, and by the mid-1970s coins of this value had become largely ceremonial in daily commerce.
