Historical background

The design of Iranian banknotes strongly reflects the political and cultural elements of each era. After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, portraits of the Shah (King) were abolished and replaced with portraits of Ayatollah Khomeini.

The 50,000 riyal banknote was introduced in the 2000s, when demand for higher denomination banknotes increased to combat inflation in the Iranian economy, and is now widely used for everyday large-value transactions in Iran. It is also popular as a collectible item internationally, and unused ones in particularly good condition tend to fetch high prices.
