| Comments |
Bank Mellat is not a central bank — it is one of Iran's major commercial banks, nationalized after the 1979 revolution. Commercial banks in Iran do not issue currency. This note, if genuine, is almost certainly a novelty, souvenir, or promotional item rather than a legal tender instrument. The Rial denomination printed on it carries no monetary authority from the Central Bank of Iran (Bank Markazi), which holds the sole right of issue.
The Pick number P#0 confirms it has not been catalogued in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money as a recognized issue. Treat accordingly.
