This silver coin was minted during the reign of Reza Khan, the founder of the Pahlavi dynasty of Persia. The obverse appears a profile portrait of the Shah (Emperor) in military uniform. The literal translation of the Persian text above is “Shah (Emperor) Pahlavi of Persia.” ”, below is the casting year marked with Persian numerals: 1346 Hijri (AD 1928).

The reverse of the coin shows the national emblem of the Persian Empire, a lion holding a scimitar and the sun rising behind it, surrounded by a wreath. Below the lion is written the denomination of the coin: One thousand dinars.

In AD 1921, the Persian Cossack Cavalry Brigade, under the command of Reza Khan, entered the capital Tehran without bloodshed and overthrew the unpopular Qajar dynasty. In AD 1925, Reza Khan ascended the throne and founded the Pahlavi Dynasty. Reza Khan led Persia towards modernization and declared that Iran would replace Persia as the country’s title.

During World War II, Reza Khan’s intention to remain neutral prompted the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union to intervene. He abdicated in AD 1941 and went into exile overseas, relinquishing the throne to his son Muhammad-Richard Pahlavi. In AD 1979, the Pahlavi dynasty was finally overthrown by the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini, ending Iran’s thousand-year monarchy.

公元1921年，波斯哥薩克騎兵旅在指揮官禮薩汗指揮下，兵不血刃地進入首都德黑蘭推翻不得民心的卡扎爾王朝，並於公元1925年登基和開創巴勒維王朝。禮薩汗帶領波斯走向現代化，並宣布以伊朗取代波斯為國號。

第二次世界大戰時，禮薩汗意圖保持中立，招致英國和蘇聯兩國派兵干涉。於公元1941年退位流亡海外，禪讓兒子穆罕默德-李查·巴勒維。公元1979年，巴勒維王朝最終遭到何梅尼領導的伊斯蘭革命推翻，終結伊朗長達上千年的帝制。
