Iran ND (2010) Central Bank of the Islamic Republic 100,000 Rials Pick 151a Khomeini Watermark PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

This is a certified Iran, Central Bank of the Islamic Republic ND (2010) 100,000 Rials note, identified by PMG as Pick# 151a and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The holder lists serial number 44/11 170251, watermark Khomeini, and Sign. #36. The back of the PMG holder confirms Exceptional Paper Quality, with certification number 2463533-073.

The face carries Persian-language Central Bank text, the 100,000 Rials denomination, intricate green security-style patterning, and the portrait format used on modern Islamic Republic issues. The reverse is printed in English as Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and One Hundred Thousand Rials, with the Saadi Tomb in Shiraz shown as the principal architectural vignette.

Issued as ND (2010), this note belongs to Iran’s modern high-denomination rial series, reflecting a period when larger face values became increasingly common in everyday monetary use. The reverse design is especially meaningful because it connects the note to Iran’s literary heritage through Saadi of Shiraz, whose humanistic poetry is referenced directly on the back of the note.

Certified PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, this example offers strong preservation, original paper quality, and precise third-party attribution for the Pick 151a variety. Its 100,000 Rials denomination, Khomeini watermark, Saadi Tomb reverse, and modern Islamic Republic context make it well suited for collectors of Iranian paper money, Middle Eastern banknotes, and certified modern world currency.
