Additional information

Eid al-Ghadir commemorates the event at Ghadir Khumm where Shia Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad designated Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor — a claim that sits at the theological heart of the Sunni-Shia split. Iran has issued commemorative coinage for this occasion periodically since the Islamic Republic's founding, a practice that doubles as quiet doctrinal assertion. This piece appeared two years after Iran's 2008 monetary redenomination discussions, which ultimately went nowhere for another decade.
