Iran 100 Rials Banknote, 1333 (1954), featuring Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi | GoldSilverJapan

 Thank you for visiting GoldSilverJapan. This is a 100 rials banknote issued in Iran. It was issued in 1333 of the Persian calendar (1954 AD) by Bank Melli Iran (National Bank of Iran). It is a beautiful vintage foreign banknote that tells the history of the era of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's rule.

 On the right side of the front is a depiction of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran, in his military uniform. The design is primarily in reddish-purple, combined with multi-color printing in light green and blue, and features intricate geometric patterns and plant-like decorations in the center. The words "Bank Melli Iran" and the denomination are written in Persian script, and you can enjoy the ornate and elaborate design typical of Iranian banknotes from the 1950s.

 The reverse side features a large depiction of an oil refinery in Abadan, southwestern Iran. Numerous chimneys, towers, pipes, and industrial equipment are meticulously rendered, creating an impressive design that symbolizes the importance of the oil industry in Iran at the time. The words "BANK MELLI IRAN" are written in English at the top, and "RIALS 100" at the bottom.
