 The Iranian Revolution of 1979 transformed the country from a monarchy to an Islamic Republic. Ayatollah Khomeini was a symbolic figure, and his portrait was widely used on banknotes and stamps after the revolution. This banknote also reflects that historical background.
 Tomb of Hafez
 Hafez was a great Persian poet of the 14th century, and his collection of poems, the Diwan, is beloved around the world. His mausoleum in Shiraz is a must-see for cultural figures and tourists, and is depicted on the reverse as a symbol of Iranian culture.

 The appeal of investment and collecting
 1. Background of the Middle East economy and currency values
 The Iranian rial is a rare currency on a global scale, and the amount available in foreign markets is limited due to international economic sanctions. As a result, it has a strong presence in the collector market and has the potential to increase in value in the future.
 2. Links to cultural heritage
 The Hafez Mausoleum depicted on the reverse symbolizes Persian poetic culture, which is associated with UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Banknotes with historical and literary value have more collectible value than mere currency.
 3. Attention as an investment asset
 The market for rare banknotes is growing steadily, and Iranian banknotes in good condition are popular at auctions in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Unused banknotes and those with unique serial numbers are especially popular and fetch high prices.
