Description
House of Emirates® is thrilled to offer its elite clientele this exceptional Iranian fantasy silver medal from the Sultanate period of Muzaffar al-Din Shah (1896–1907), a piece that captures the twilight elegance of Qajar Iran where symbolism, power, and artistry converged. Struck in silver, this medal transcends mere numismatics, presenting itself as a poetic artifact of imperial identity, created not for circulation but for statement, prestige, and timeless admiration.
The obverse is adorned with refined Farsi script, flowing with calligraphic authority and cultural depth, echoing the ceremonial language of a court steeped in tradition and transformation. The reverse commands attention with the iconic radiant lion holding a sword, a potent emblem of sovereignty, courage, and divine kingship, framed within an ornate wreath that enhances its ceremonial and almost mythic presence. The radiating sun behind the lion amplifies the sense of destiny and imperial legitimacy, making this fantasy medal a visual narrative of power rather than a simple object.
Crafted in silver with a diameter of 37.31 mm and a weight of 15.96 g, this medal offers both substance and soul. It is an ideal acquisition for discerning collectors, historians, and investors who understand that true value lies not only in metal, but in meaning, rarity, and story. This is a piece for those who collect history not as memory, but as legacy.
