Iran 1937 50 Dinars!


Rather than use the dinar as the dollar like Iraq, Iran used it as the cent. So this 50 Dinar coin is just a 1/2 Rial. At current exchange rates, this coin is worthless. Of course, it was demonetized long ago so it is worthless anyway. It features a radiant lion carrying a sword on the obverse and the denomination on the reverse. This coin takes a huge leap from its would-be face value and is worth $1.00.
