Abstract
S. Günther discusses the use of Achamenid motives – particularly prominent were the Cyrus cylinder and the tomb of Cyrus – on coins and stamps during the final years of the Pahlavi dynasty. Mohammed Reza Pahlavi aimed at presenting his dynasty as protectors of Iran’s cultural heritage and as legitimate successors to the Achaemenids; a claim that was accepted rather uncritically by the world public.
