One million rials is a high printed denomination, but a high face value is not proof that a banknote is scarce. This guide concerns the pictured 2021 Iranian issue and the practical checks that help distinguish it from other one-million-rial designs.

Check whether the issue is classified as an Iran-check or another instrument type before assigning a catalog number.

One million rials or 100,000 tomans?

The face value of 1,000,000 IRR corresponds to 100,000 tomans as a unit conversion. Listings may use either expression. Confirm the denomination printed on the actual note and avoid confusing this with an exchange-rate value.

Identify the illustrated architecture

The pictured issue uses Iranian architectural imagery, including the Tachara Palace at Persepolis in descriptions of the series. Confirm the subject against the exact front and back images, because older and newer one-million-rial designs may differ.

Catalog numbers and signatures

Do not assign a Pick or other catalog number from the denomination alone. Record the design, issue, signature pair and serial-number format. Catalog references may differ between editions and between banknote and Iran-check classifications.

Assessing a specimen

For an UNC example, look for sharp corners, no folds and an undisturbed surface. Ask for photographs of the actual item, ideally with the whole front and reverse visible, rather than relying on a sample picture.

Handling and storage

Keep the banknote flat in an archival sleeve. Avoid direct sunlight, adhesive labels touching the note and excessive humidity.

Collector FAQ

What is a Pick number? It identifies a cataloged banknote type, not an individual serial number. Can photographs confirm UNC? They help, but fine folds and handling marks may be missed. Does a high face value mean the note is scarce? No; issue, condition and market supply matter.

Browse the Numizmatika banknote collection and compare the specific denomination, issue and condition before ordering.
