| Obverse description |
Green-toned Iran Cheque (ایران چک) issued by Bank Saderat Iran, with a value of one million rials rendered in both Western numerals (1000000) and Persian script (یک میلیون ریال) at lower left. The right portion carries a vignette of a domed mosque with minarets, set against a fine guilloche underprint, while the left half contains fields for payee details, branch stamp, and issuing bank inscription in Persian. The serial number appears in red at the upper right, with MICR encoding along the lower edge. |
| Reverse description |
The reverse presents a predominantly green field with the bold bilingual title IRAN CHEQUE at the top centre, flanked by the denomination figure 1000000 in large numerals on both sides. A structured form layout occupies the central area, providing lines in Persian script for the recipient's name, family name, date and place of birth, national identification number, serial number, address, and telephone, alongside a space for the payee's signature. A floral rosette ornament appears at lower centre, with a fine guilloche border running along all four margins. |
Bank Saderat Iran is a commercial bank, not the central bank — that distinction matters here. Iran's high-denomination paper currency has historically been the domain of Bank Markazi, the central bank, making a nominally issued Saderat million-rial note immediately suspect. No Pick number has been assigned because this item has not been recognized in the standard catalog as a legitimate circulating banknote; it almost certainly falls into the category of commemorative, souvenir, or novelty issue produced for the tourist or gift market rather than for monetary use.
The security features present do not confirm official status — such elements are reproducible outside central bank facilities.
