Bank Mellat is one of Iran's major commercial banks, privatized in 2000 as part of a broader restructuring of state-owned financial institutions — making this note's date of issue coincide almost exactly with that transition. Whether this piece represents an official circulating banknote or a commemorative/promotional issue warrants scrutiny; a one-million rial denomination would have been extraordinarily high for Iranian circulation in 2000, when the highest issued Central Bank of Iran denomination was 10,000 rials.
The absence of a Pick number is the telling detail here. Commercial banks in Iran did not issue circulating currency — that authority rested solely with Bank Markazi. Treat provenance carefully.
