The 1971 date places this note in the period immediately following the Shah's extravagant 2,500-year celebration of the Persian Empire at Persepolis — a moment of peak imperial self-confidence for the Pahlavi regime. Bank Markazi had been established only in 1960, replacing the British-influenced Bank Melli as the central issuing authority, and Harrison & Sons had become its preferred printer for the prestige series.
The "light panel" designation distinguishes this from the later, visually heavier printing variants of P#90 — a subtle but cataloguable difference that affects scarcity. Collectors routinely conflate the two.
