When exactly? I know that not all of 1357 was known as "2537".



In Early 1357 it was abolished. Does it really matter? It is only a historical interest. The important thing is how to convert it. Because, in those two years, many date references were converted to "Shaahanshaahi calendar". So, we have some dates like "Shahrivar-e 2500" or "Mordaad-e 2512" and so on.

Of course, it is possible to find the exact date, for example by looking at the archive of "Ettela'at" or "Kayhan" newspapers, and see when the date in their title changes. Unfortunately, I don't have access to them at the moment, maybe later.

Best
