| Comments |
Bank Refah Kargaran is not a central bank — it is a state-owned commercial and welfare bank serving Iranian workers and pensioners. Its authority to issue bearer instruments of this denomination is worth scrutiny; 2,000,000 rials in 2000 was a substantial sum, roughly equivalent to several months' wages for many Iranian workers at the time. Whether this circulated as a genuine payment instrument or functioned as an internal voucher or gift certificate is a distinction the sparse security package does not resolve — a simple serial number and validation stamp is far below what the Central Bank of Iran required for standard banknotes.
No Pick number has been assigned, which typically signals either an unconfirmed attribution or a document outside the conventional banknote classification entirely.
