| Comments |
Bank Tejarat is a commercial bank, not Iran's central bank — the issuance of banknotes by a commercial institution is immediately unusual. This almost certainly is not a circulating banknote but rather a souvenir, promotional, or commemorative item produced around the turn of the millennium, likely issued to mark a corporate milestone or as a gift note. The denomination of 2,000,000 Rials, at the time equivalent to roughly 250 US dollars at official rates, would have been impractical for routine circulation in any case.
The absence of a Pick number confirms it falls outside standard central bank issuance. The presence of a MICR line is worth noting — that feature suggests some level of serious production intent, not purely decorative manufacture.
