This is a certified Iran, Central Bank of the Islamic Republic ND (2023) 1,000,000 Rials Iran Cheque, identified by PMG as Pick# 157a and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. The holder lists serial number 872070/737070/10. The back of the PMG holder confirms Exceptional Paper Quality, with certification number 2463629-061.

The face carries Persian-language Central Bank text, the Iran Cheque designation, the 1,000,000 Rials value, and a prominent architectural vignette labeled Tachara Palace – Persepolis. The design connects this modern high-denomination issue to ancient Persian imperial architecture, using one of Iran’s most important archaeological and cultural sites as the central historical reference.

The reverse is printed in English as Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Iran Cheque, with the One Million Rials denomination and ornate Islamic-style geometric and calligraphic design elements. As a modern Iran Cheque, this issue reflects the use of cheque-style high-value paper instruments in Iran’s contemporary monetary system, where large rial denominations have played an important role in everyday commerce and collecting interest.

Certified PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated, this example offers strong preservation, original paper quality, and a precise third-party attribution for the Pick 157a type. Its 2023 date, 1,000,000 Rials denomination, Persepolis architectural theme, and Iran Cheque format make it well suited for collectors of Iranian paper money, Middle Eastern banknotes, high-denomination issues, and certified modern world currency.
