| Additional information |
The Azadi ("Freedom") series was introduced by Bank Melli Iran as a domestically issued bullion coin intended to reduce Iranian dependence on foreign gold coins — particularly the widely hoarded British Sovereign — that had long dominated private savings in the country. The 1979 "Revolution" issue marks the specific transitional moment between imperial and republican authority, struck as the Shah's government collapsed and the Islamic Republic consolidated control over state institutions including the mint.
The Fr#114 designation places this squarely in the Faearn gold reference, confirming its recognized status as a bullion type rather than a commemorative anomaly.
