Iran – Banknotes
Iranian banknotes include issues of the Iranian rial, reflecting the country’s economic, political and cultural development from the 20th century to the present. The series feature historical figures, Persian cultural heritage, architectural landmarks, Islamic artistic motifs, natural landscapes and symbolic elements representing national identity, accompanying monetary reforms, periods of instability and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, variants, signatures and historical relevance within the Middle East and Western Asia, Iranian paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
