Iran bans sales of jewelry with monarchy-linked symbols in Khamenei hometown

Mashhad, Iran ·

Authorities in the northeastern city of Mashhad have banned the display and sale of jewellery and coins bearing the Lion and Sun emblem or imagery linked to the former monarchy, according to a notice from the city's gold traders' union.

The Lion and Sun was Iran's national emblem under the Pahlavi dynasty, overthrown in 1979, and it remains a symbol some Iranians associate with the monarchy. Mashhad is the capital of Razavi Khorasan province and home to the shrine of Imam Reza.
