Iran ND (1993) Central Bank of the Islamic Republic 5000 Rials Pick 145f Khomeini Watermark PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

This is a certified Iran, Central Bank of the Islamic Republic ND (1993) 5000 Rials note, identified by PMG as Pick# 145f and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The holder lists serial number 3/19 330570, watermark Khomeini, and Sign. #33. The back of the PMG holder confirms Exceptional Paper Quality, with certification number 2463616-097.

The face carries Persian-language Central Bank text, the 5000 Rials denomination, ornate Islamic-style geometric and floral design work, and a large portrait associated with the post-revolutionary Islamic Republic series. The reverse is printed in English as Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Five Thousand Rials, with a floral composition, doves, and decorative security-style elements.

Issued as ND (1993), this note belongs to Iran’s modern Islamic Republic monetary period, when banknote design emphasized revolutionary identity, religious symbolism, and national decorative traditions rather than the royal portraiture used on earlier Pahlavi-era issues. The holder-noted Khomeini watermark is an important attribution point for the variety and connects the note to the central visual themes of Iran’s post-1979 currency.

Certified PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, this example offers strong preservation, original paper quality, and precise third-party attribution for the Pick 145f variety. Its 5000 Rials denomination, Islamic Republic context, Khomeini watermark, and certified Gem grade make it well suited for collectors of Iranian paper money, Middle Eastern banknotes, and modern certified world currency.
