Bank Melli Iran — the country's oldest commercial bank, founded in 1927 — was issuing notes at face values that would have been unthinkable before the revolution. The 200,000 rial denomination reflects decades of accumulated inflation following the post-1979 economic disruptions, international sanctions, and the eight-year war with Iraq. By 2000, even this figure represented a relatively modest purchasing sum in daily transactions.
The Pick number is unassigned in standard catalogs, which typically indicates either a very late addition to the reference database or a note that circulated without achieving wide international documentation at time of publication.
