Iran ND (2015) Central Bank of the Islamic Republic 50,000 Rials Commemorative Pick 155 Khomeini Watermark PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated

This is a certified Iran ND (2015) 50,000 Rials Commemorative note, identified by PMG as Pick# 155 and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The holder lists serial number 62/25 298859 and watermark Khomeini. The back of the PMG holder confirms Exceptional Paper Quality, with certification number 2463630-049.

The face carries Persian-language Central Bank text, the 50,000 Rials denomination, ornate Islamic-style geometric patterning, and the portrait format associated with modern Islamic Republic issues. The PMG holder specifically designates this piece as “Commemorative,” an important attribution that distinguishes it from standard circulating types of similar denomination.

The reverse is printed in English as Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Fifty Thousand Rials, with a prominent architectural vignette of the University of Tehran entrance. The design also includes literary text associated with Ferdowsi, linking the note’s commemorative theme to Iranian education, literature, and cultural heritage rather than only monetary function.

Certified PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, this example offers strong preservation, original paper quality, and a precise holder attribution for the Pick 155 commemorative issue. Its Khomeini watermark, University of Tehran reverse, and modern Iranian commemorative status make it well suited for collectors of Iranian paper money, Middle Eastern banknotes, and certified modern world currency.
