The Iran 500000 Rials Banknote cataloged as Pick 154 offers collectors a focused example from Iran’s earlier half-million-rial series. Unlike Pick W164, this issue keeps both sides of its design closely connected to the Imam Reza Shrine complex in Mashhad. Therefore, it fits especially well in collections organized by architectural theme or Pick number.
This listing includes one authentic 500,000 Rials note from the 2014–2015 issue period in UNC condition. Moreover, its paired shrine designs help collectors compare how one cultural location can appear through two different visual perspectives on the same banknote.

Why Pick 154 Has Its Own Collection Role
A Distinct Half-Million-Rial Issue
Collectors sometimes group all 500,000 Rials notes together because they share the same denomination. However, Pick 154 carries its own design identity and catalog position. As a result, it deserves a separate album space rather than being treated as interchangeable with later issues.
A Shrine-Focused Design Pair
Both sides connect to the Imam Reza Shrine complex. Therefore, this note creates a more unified architectural narrative than issues that combine unrelated landmarks or landscapes.
Design Story
Front Design — Imam Reza Shrine Dome
The front presents the dome of the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. Its detailed architectural treatment gives the banknote a clear visual center while linking the denomination to one of Iran’s best-known religious complexes.
Reverse Design — Esmail Talayi Fountain
The reverse shows the Esmail Talayi Fountain within the shrine courtyard. Meanwhile, this more intimate scene complements the broader dome view on the front and gives collectors a second perspective on the same cultural site.
One Landmark, Two Perspectives
Many banknotes place unrelated subjects on opposite sides. In contrast, Pick 154 develops one location through two connected images. The front highlights the shrine’s skyline and dome, while the reverse focuses on a feature inside the courtyard. Consequently, the note feels visually unified and easy to interpret.
