The "Pahlavi Coins" (Persian: سکه پهلوی) were the official gold coins of Iran from 1926 to 1979, and the term "Pahlavi" is the currency of these coins. These coins replaced the QajarToman gold coins when Reza Shah Pahlavi came to power in 1925 and the monetary system changed in 1926. After the 1979 Revolution in Iran the name of these coins was changed to "Bahar Azadi".
