How come Krause only list these starting in 1943? Is this a typical Krause mistake?

My edition of Krause lists them starting as KM# 1131 with the year SH1310 (1931) under the "Reform" coinage. And my edition is a few years old.

I like this lion on an AH1319 (1901) 50 Dinars.

Oooh, that one has whiskers

You know, with a mintage of 1.2 million I'm surprised there are none better than 66. Especially ATS.

Mine is also Top Pop even though it's a 65. Pop 6/0, so it's not like nobody's tried to beat i …

I like mine better for my collection because it's the first year of issue, even though the mintage is a little higher. I plan on upgrading someday and expect the opportunity will arise. There's a gem out there somewhere I can feel it.

Wonderful pieces, I like bidask's equally with Nick's that comes with an unmistakable "gmarguli" pedigree.


I had one too, as well as a couple of gold pahlevi. I think that most of the Shah's coins had it. It's tough to resist that lion.

One of these days I will re-photograph my collection I plan to do so once it's complete so the lighting and angles will match on all. Who knows, maybe by that time, the cameras will shoot themselves! or I'll have a robot to do it for me like Tony Stark.
