All nine coins are preserved in Choice to Superb Gem Proof condition, exhibiting exceptional contrast and minimal handling. Sets of this caliber are seldom encountered, particularly in such pristine and original state.
The set remains complete and original, accompanied by the official decree authorizing the minting of these commemorative coins, further enhancing its historical importance and provenance.
Only a very limited number of these sets survived intact, and examples of this quality are rarely offered on the market. In over 50 years of handling fine numismatic material, this stands among the finest sets we have encountered.
A remarkable opportunity to acquire a museum-level commemorative set celebrating one of the most important milestones in Iranian history.
