    Collar of Order of the Crown (Nishan-i-Taj)


    Recommended Posts

    Absolutely incredible. Only three persons are known to bear this kind of collar:

    - Emperor Ahmad Shah, the last of Qajars,

    - Crown-Prince Mohammad Hassan Mirza (Ahmad Shah's brother),

    - Reza Shah, the first of Pahlavis (he used this collar until 1932).

    Unlike the Qajarian practice the Crown Prince Mohammad Reza (future Emperor) had never recieved this collar from the reining Shah: only Grand Cordon - with sash and star (in use 1927/28-32).

    Ahmad Shah, I think. Mohammad Hassan was expelled in 24 hours and I don't think he was allowed to take smth of this kind with him. Reza Shah's collar is at Sahebqaranieh now. :) Actually, I wish we know some more cavaliers - if they ever existed.

    Hi Mitya,

    What is Sahebqaranieh means?

    One of palaces at Niavaran Imperial residence complex (now museum) in Tehran. They change the number of items exposed in glass cases there from time to time (don't know why) so just now one cannot see this collar. If it is in a vault there now or somewhere else - I don't know.
