Iran 1,000,000 Rials: Comparing Earlier Banknote Issues — article cover

Older Iranian one-million-rial listings sometimes combine different years and designs under one heading. This article provides a method for comparing the original collection images without assigning an unverified year to a particular note.

Compare the pictured notes individually; the images do not establish a matched front-and-back pair of one physical note.

Why the old ‘2017’ label is not enough

The former article title referred to 2017 while its text mentioned earlier dates. Those conflicting descriptions do not establish the issue year. Confirm the year through the correct catalog entry and the specific design shown on both sides.

Compare the obverse first

Record the principal illustration, denominations, Persian inscriptions, serial-number format and signature positions. The front image in this article is a reference to one issue, not proof that every note of the same face value shares that design.

Then compare the reverse

A second original image may represent another issue or printing. Check whether the front and back belong to the same design before labeling them a matched pair. Do not combine unrelated photographs into a single purported specimen.

Keep a clear variety record

Create separate entries for each confirmed type, noting the source of the catalog number, signature pair and date. A label such as ‘older issue’ is more accurate than a precise year that has not been verified.

Condition and storage

Grade each actual note independently. Keep comparison images alongside the collection record and store the notes in PVC-free archival sleeves.

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.
