I agree it is unusual to see Arabic and Hebrew writing on the same object, but the Jewish Community in Iran struck this medal in honor of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi whose reign started in 1941, preceded by his father Reza Shah Pahlavi who started 1925. An Islamic Revolution led by Ruhollah Khomeini put an end to the Pahlavi Dynasty in 1979. 1966 is the 25th year of Mohammad's reign.

As far as I know, this medal was struck in 1966 with both bronze and gold versions. There might be a silver version, but I am not sure about that.
