Iran Group of 32 Notes Crisp Uncirculated Bank Markazi Rials Shah Era Assorted Large Lot

Iran Group of 32 Notes Crisp Uncirculated Bank Markazi Rials Shah Era Assorted Large Lot

Offered here is an attractive Iran group of 32 notes in Crisp Uncirculated condition, featuring a colorful assortment of Bank Markazi Iran issues from the Shah era. Based on the notes shown, the group includes multiple denominations such as 20, 50, 100, and 200 Rials, giving collectors a broad and visually impressive cross-section of pre-revolution Iranian paper money.

Historically, this lot represents the late Pahlavi period, when Bank Markazi Iran issued modern national currency combining royal portraiture, state symbolism, and major national landmarks. The 20 Rials type is known for its Shah portrait and horseback hunting reverse, the 50 Rials for designs including the Tomb of Cyrus the Great or commemorative Shah-era imagery, the 100 Rials shown here matches the 50th anniversary of the Pahlavi Dynasty commemorative design with two Shah portraits, and the 200 Rials type is associated with the Shahyad/Azadi monument in Tehran.

Design-wise, this is an especially appealing lot. The notes display the bold, ornate style collectors expect from Bank Markazi Iran issues: detailed Persian ornament, formal portraits of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, commemorative historical themes, and architectural reverses that range from ancient sites to modern Iranian monuments. The variety of colors—brown, green, blue, purple, and multicolor underprints—makes the group highly displayable and ideal for collectors who enjoy visually diverse type lots.

As a collector lot, this offering is appealing because it provides both quantity and variety. Rather than a single example, it gives buyers 32 original notes that illustrate several important Bank Markazi designs and denominations in one purchase. That makes it especially useful for anyone building an Iran type collection, a Middle East paper money collection, or a teaching set focused on Shah-era currency design and iconography. The Crisp Uncirculated grade adds to the overall desirability by preserving the sharp colors and fresh paper look that make these notes so attractive. The exact note mix is based on the group shown.
