Comment

Nasir al-Din Shah gold 5 Tomans 1311AH (1893), KM-XMV23, Friedberg 53, nice XF+, bold design features, tiny rim nick and a small mount trace at the top which is almost always the case for this type struck to exactly 5 Toman weight from dies prepared for the Medal of Bravery. Rare type and a particularly elusive date. 14.09 grams.
