Description:
This ND (1961) / SH1340 Iran 20 Rials banknote, cataloged as Pick 72, is a striking and highly graded example from the Pahlavi-era currency issued by Bank Markazi Iran (Central Bank of Iran). Certified by PMG as Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 EPQ, this note represents the finest quality available for collectors, boasting pristine preservation and vibrant visual appeal.
The obverse features a formal portrait of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in military uniform, framed by elegant Persian geometric and floral border designs in a rich palette of blue, purple, and green. The reverse displays the iconic image of Persepolis, the ancient ceremonial capital of the Achaemenid Empire—an enduring symbol of Iran’s imperial past and cultural heritage.
Issued in 1961 (1340 in the Solar Hijri calendar), this note was part of a transitional series that reflected Iran’s modernization efforts under the Shah while retaining deep national and historical symbolism. The PMG 68 EPQ grade indicates a note with nearly perfect centering, bold color, crisp embossing, and untouched original paper—attributes that place it firmly in the top tier of collectible Iranian banknotes.
Collector’s Value:
This 1961 20 Rials note is an exceptional acquisition for collectors of Middle Eastern or pre-revolutionary Iranian currency. With its rare Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 EPQ grade, striking design elements, and historical context, it’s a standout piece for any collection focused on quality and significance.
