Iran, Republic, 20 rials dated SH (Solar Islamic Era) 1359 (equal to 1980 AD). This one is a circulating commemorative for the second anniversary of the Revolution. KM# 1246.

[edited to correct SH date]

In 1979, Islamists overthrew the Iranian monarchy and set up the Islamic Republic; the same government which currently rules in Iran.

Here in Europe, and I believe that in the US too, this revolution is quite well-known because of the important change in the foreign relationships of Iran. Untill 1979, the head of Iran was the second ruler of the Pahlavi Dynasty, Mohammad Aryamehr Reza Pahlavi, a very open-minded emperor (shahinshah=emperor of the emperors), who reformed the Iranian state and had a pro-occidental policy. He is also well known for his wife, a very beautiful woman, said to have influenced him a lot.
In 1979, the ayatolah Khomeiny took the power and reintroduced the religious fundamentalism, exiling Reza and freezing the relations with the occident. The revolution is considered an important drawback in the social life of Iran.

Sirs Sap and Stratocaster, thank you for reminding me that world history; if I remember it right, the President of the US that time was President Carter.
