IRAN 500000 Riyal UNC banknote 2013

Iran 500,000 Rials UNC Banknote – Pick #W153A (2008–2014)

Product Description

This Iran 500,000 Rials banknote (Pick #W153A) was issued by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran between 2008 and 2014. Officially classified as an “Iran Cheque”—a high-denomination bearer instrument used alongside regular currency—it remains legal tender but functions more like a promissory note. Offered here in uncirculated (UNC) condition, it is crisp, clean, and free from handling or wear.

The design centers on one of Shia Islam’s holiest sites. The obverse features the magnificent Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad—the burial place of the eighth Shia Imam and a major pilgrimage destination. The reverse displays the denomination in English and Persian, with minimal ornamentation to emphasize its functional role as a cheque. Meanwhile, the watermark reveals the portrait of Ferdowsi, the revered 10th-century poet who preserved Persian identity through the epic Shahnameh.
