This coin is of the same type as this one previously posted, which allows its attribution to Resht.

It has been struck over an old persian coin that I haven't been able to identify  ??? (but that seems to be possible...)
The peacock is topped with a 3 points crown .

The crown on this civic copper and the one seen on modern Pahlavi coinage.

The Pahlavi crown dates from 1925...

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Yes Peter, but may be a design inspired by older crowns ?.... ;)
