🏛 Historical Background
Iran is a country with a long history dating back to the ancient Persian Empire. The "wind tower (badgir)" depicted on this banknote is a traditional desert architectural technique, a system that uses natural wind to cool indoor spaces. This is said to be the prototype of modern air conditioners, and symbolizes the wisdom of ancient Iranians who coexisted with the environment.
The portrait on the front of the banknotes features Ayatollah Khomeini, who led the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, abolishing the monarchy and establishing the Islamic Republic. His inclusion on the banknotes symbolizes the core of the country's identity.

💠 Investment and collectible value
1. Collectibility: Banknotes with Islamic architecture motifs are rare worldwide and are highly regarded for their design.
2. Limited availability: Iranian banknotes are scarce due to limited circulation abroad due to sanctions and the international economy.
3. Historical significance: Cultural materials that tell the story of social changes after the Islamic Revolution and the coexistence of tradition and modernization.
4. Investment assets: The value of banknotes fluctuates depending on inflation and economic conditions, so there is a high possibility of premiums in the future.
