Reverse: Features the neoclassical façade of the former Imperial Bank building (now a museum), showcasing Iran’s architectural heritage.
-
Security Elements: Intricate guilloché patterns, latent numerals, microprinting, and a clear watermark vignette ensure authenticity. Subtle fluorescent fibers woven into the paper glow under UV light.
Remarkable Denomination
