The Imperial Bank of Persia was a British-chartered institution, granted its concession by Nasser al-Din Shah in 1889 — which is why notes were printed in London from the outset and not in Tehran. The bank held exclusive rights to issue banknotes throughout Persia, a privilege that generated persistent resentment from Persian merchants and nationalist politicians who viewed the arrangement, correctly, as an instrument of British financial control.
Bradbury Wilkinson held the print contract for the entire run of this series, spanning over three decades. The long date range on P#2 reflects a printing strategy of reissuing from the same plates rather than redesigning — meaning early and late examples can look nearly identical despite being separated by years of circulation.
