Bank Melli Iran was founded in 1927 as part of Reza Shah's broader program to displace foreign financial institutions — specifically the British-controlled Imperial Bank of Persia, which had held the exclusive note-issuing concession since 1889. The 50 Rial note from this mid-1930s series was printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York, a deliberate alignment with American commercial interests at a moment when the Shah was actively working to reduce British and Soviet influence over Iranian institutions.
The "second portrait" designation distinguishes this from the earlier P#26 issue; the change in the Shah's likeness tracks closely with shifting official preferences for how the monarch was to be presented on state instruments.
