Iranian Currency 500000 Rial 2013 x5 UNC banknotes

Compare Matching Examples

A single banknote provides a useful catalog reference. However, five matching examples allow collectors to compare color tones, serial formatting, ink placement, and overall presentation. As a result, this lot offers a more detailed study experience than one individual note.

Reduce Repeated Handling

Collectors often prefer to preserve one favorite example while using another for closer inspection. Therefore, a five-note group makes it easier to examine printed details and security features without repeatedly handling the same banknote.

Flexible Collector Use

In addition to detailed study, this lot can support exchanges, educational displays, dealer inventory, or denomination-based collections. Consequently, buyers can preserve all five notes together or organize them according to their individual collecting goals.

Front Design — Imam Reza Shrine

The front features the dome of the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. Moreover, the surrounding Persian-Islamic decoration gives each banknote a strong architectural identity linked to one of Iran’s best-known religious landmarks.

Reverse Design — Persian Calligraphy

The reverse presents Persian calligraphy surrounded by traditional geometric ornamentation. Meanwhile, the artistic layout creates a clear contrast with the large shrine motif shown on the front.

Pick W153A combines architectural imagery with traditional Persian artistic forms. Because this lot includes five matching examples, collectors can study how fine lines, decorative borders, and calligraphic elements remain consistent across the issue.

Color Registration

Collectors can place the notes side by side to compare the alignment and density of printed colors. Therefore, the group helps reveal small production variations that may be difficult to notice when viewing only one example.

Serial and Prefix Formats

Although serial numbers may differ, each banknote provides another reference for studying number placement and prefix presentation. In addition, collectors can record these details within a personal catalog.

Security Feature Placement

The five examples also allow direct comparison of watermark areas, security-thread positions, micro-printing, and raised details. Consequently, the lot provides useful educational value while keeping the description focused on collecting rather than investment.

Pick W153A marks an early stage in Iran’s modern 500,000 Rials design sequence. Therefore, a five-note group can serve both as a focused study pack and as an organized starting point before collectors add Pick 154 and Pick W164.

In everyday use, each 500,000 Rials banknote is commonly referred to as a 50 Toman note. Therefore, the five notes in this lot have a combined common reference of 250 Toman.
