| Reverse description | The reverse carries a dynamic intaglio vignette drawn from a classical Persian manuscript illumination, presenting mounted warriors in fierce combat with flowing robes and horses in full gallop, rendered in fine blue-green line work against a pale guilloche underprint. The issuer's name, 'CENTRAL BANK OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN', and the designation 'IRAN CHEQUE' appear in English at the upper left in red and black lettering, with the denomination '2000000' and 'TWO MILLION RIALS' printed at the upper right. A large golden '200' numeral appears at the lower right as an additional design element, while a microprinted security legend runs along the lower border. |

Iran's 2,000,000 Rial note — effectively 200 Tomans in the unit most Iranians actually use in daily transactions — reflects the accumulated weight of decades of inflation since the 1979 revolution. The rial has lost so much ground against the dollar that denominations once unthinkable are now routine cash. Parliament approved a redenomination plan years ago, renaming the currency the Toman at a 10,000:1 ratio, but implementation has been repeatedly delayed, leaving the central bank issuing ever-larger nominal values as a stopgap.
P#167 is among the highest face-value notes in the series as of issue.
