| 裏面の説明 | The reverse displays a green guilloche background with the bold heading 'IRAN CHEQUE' at top centre in Latin script, and 'ONE MILLION RIALS' in the same script at the lower margin. The central area is divided into printed form fields in Persian script for the bearer's personal details, including name, father's name, national identification number, telephone, and signature. A small stylised bird vignette is repeated at centre-right, consistent with the obverse design. |

Bank Melli Iran began issuing million-rial denominations in the late 1990s as the cumulative effect of post-revolutionary inflation rendered smaller notes nearly useless for large transactions. By 2000, the rial had lost the overwhelming majority of its pre-1979 purchasing power, and a one-million denomination — unthinkable under the Shah — had become a practical necessity rather than a symbolic statement.
The Pick number remains unassigned in standard catalogs, which suggests this note either circulated in limited quantities, was a specimen or commemorative issue, or has not yet been formally catalogued in the main series. Worth verifying against Iranian central bank records before attributing a definitive issue status.
