| Comments |
Bank Tejarat is a commercial bank, not the Central Bank of Iran — its issuance of a 1,000,000 Rial denomination note is immediately unusual. Iranian paper currency has historically been issued exclusively by Bank Markazi, the central bank. A commercial bank-issued circulating banknote at this denomination would be extraordinary, and no Pick catalogue number has been assigned, which strongly suggests this item is either a promotional piece, a commemorative souvenir note, or a specimen produced for internal banking purposes rather than genuine legal tender circulation.
Treat attribution with caution until provenance is confirmed.
