This is a 5-rial silver coin issued in the year 1311 of the Persian calendar (AD 1932), during the reign of Reza Shah of the Pahlavi dynasty, which then ruled Iran.

The obverse of the coin features the national emblem of Persia: a lion brandishing a scimitar with a rising sun positioned behind it. Above the emblem appears a crown, symbolising royal authority. Below the horizon line where the lion stands is the Persian inscription “پنج ریال,” indicating the denomination of 5 rials. The emblem is encircled by a wreath composed of interwoven oak and olive branches.

The reverse of the coin is similarly encircled by a wreath composed of interwoven oak and olive branches, with a crown positioned at the top. Along the lower periphery is the inscription of the Persian calendar year “۱۳۱۱” (1311), corresponding to AD 1932. At the centre of the design appears the denomination “۵ ریال” (5 Rials), while the upper periphery bears the name and title of the monarch: “رضا شاه پهلوی شاهنشاه ایران” (“Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shahanshah of Iran”).

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.

這是一枚波斯曆1311年 (公元1932年)，彼時統治伊朗的巴勒維王朝禮薩汗發行之面額5里亞爾銀幣。

錢幣正面是波斯的國徽，即拿著彎刀的雄獅及其背後升起的太陽，正上方有一頂代表皇權的皇冠。而獅子站立的地平線下方有一行波斯文「پنج ریال」即面額「5里亞爾」。圖騰外圍則是以橡樹葉和橄欖葉共同編織而成的花圈。

錢幣背面也是以橡樹葉和橄欖葉編織而成的花圈圍繞，頂端有一頂皇冠。花圈下緣鐫刻波斯曆發行年份「۱۳۱۱」(1311) 相當於公元1932年。正中央鐫刻面額「۵ ریال」(5里亞爾)，上緣則是國王的名諱和頭銜「رضا شاه پهلوی شاهنشاه ایران」(伊朗沙阿禮薩·沙·巴勒維)。

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。
