Gold coins from Iran and Persia include many pieces from past empires, including the medieval Abbasid Caliphate and the Khwarezm Empire (to name but two examples). The Qajar Empire also issued gold coins during its time, and collectors often snap these up when they show up in the marketplace.
Perhaps most notable in Iranian gold coin history has been the Pahlavi Dynasty, which took over from the Qajars in 1925 and issued its own coins denominated in a new unit called “pahlavi” in both silver and gold, until its shah was overthrown in 1979. Gold pahlavi coins are numerous in the modern coin marketplace, and are the subject of much attention and interest from many buyers and collectors.

Also of much interest to collectors is the harder-to-find series of gold azadi coins. Very popular but not as numerous on the market, azadi pieces always catch the eye of patient gold Iranian coin hunters.
The modern Islamic Republic of Iran has issued gold bullion coins for collectors as well. Whether you are looking for a medieval gold coin or one from antiquity, or for a pahlavi or other modern gold coin, check the current offers in the marketplace. Listings are updated daily and new sales are added frequently.
