Coin on Imam Ar-Reza (a.s.) life put on show
By: Sheikh M Khurasani
TEHRAN, Iran: The museum at Iran's Bank Sepah has
exhibited a replica coin marking Hazret Imam Ali Ar-Reza (a.s.)'s
term as the Crown Prince under Abassid caliph Ma'moon ur-Rashid in
ancient Tous city, according to a spokesperson for the museum Mohsen
Daraie.
“The coin has the name of the eighth Imam, Imam Reza (a.s.), etched
on it and dates back to the time the revered Imam was accompanying
Ma'moon at Tous as his successor,” Daraie said.
A stamp bearing the image of the coin has also been published in
this regard, he added.
The original coin marking Imam Reza's presence in Khorasan as
designated heir to Ma'moon ur-Rashid's throne is currently being
held at Bank Sepah's museum.
Ma'moon, fearing Imam Reza's increasing popularity, had the eighth
Imam from the holy progeny of Prophet Hazret Muhammad (s.v.)
poisoned in 818 AD.
A major shrine, and eventually the holy city of Mash’had, grew up
around Imam Reza's mausoleum.
