Iran High-Denomination UNC Set – 500,000 to 2,000,000 Rials
Product Description
This set includes three high-denomination “Iran Cheques” issued by the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran between 2008 and 2023: 500,000 Rials (Pick #W153A), 1,000,000 Rials (Pick #W154B), and 2,000,000 Rials (Pick #W154C). Officially classified as bearer instruments rather than standard banknotes, these cheques remain legal tender but function as high-value financial tools. All are offered in uncirculated (UNC) condition—crisp, clean, and untouched by circulation.
Each note reflects a different facet of Iranian identity:
- 500,000 Rials (2008–2014): The obverse features the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad—one of Shia Islam’s holiest sites. The watermark reveals Ferdowsi, author of the Persian epic Shahnameh.
- 1,000,000 Rials (2010–2015): The obverse showcases the Tachara Palace at Persepolis—symbol of ancient Persian imperial power. The reverse displays elegant Persian calligraphy and geometric patterns.
- 2,000,000 Rials (2008–2023): The obverse highlights the Karoun 3 Dam—a major hydroelectric project in Khuzestan. The reverse features similar calligraphic and floral motifs, with a Ferdowsi watermark.
Together, these cheques illustrate how Iran blends religious devotion, ancient heritage, and modern infrastructure in its monetary response to economic pressures.
