Why Pick W164 Belongs in a Modern Iran Collection
A Clear Single-Denomination Reference
Collectors often build an Iranian album one denomination at a time. Consequently, this single 500,000 Rials note provides a simple reference for Pick W164 without requiring the buyer to purchase a larger quantity.
A Useful Starting Point
This format also suits collectors who want to examine the note before expanding into multiple-note lots. Later, they can add other 500,000 Rials issues or larger denomination sets while keeping Pick W164 as the modern reference example.
Design Story
Front Design — Imam Reza Shrine
The front features the dome of the Imam Reza Shrine in Mashhad. As a result, the banknote carries a strong architectural identity linked to one of Iran’s most recognizable religious complexes.
Reverse Design — Mount Damavand
The reverse presents Mount Damavand against a mountainous landscape. Meanwhile, this natural theme creates a clear visual contrast with the detailed architectural design on the front.
Architecture and Landscape in One Note
Pick W164 balances two different parts of Iranian identity. On one side, the shrine represents architecture and cultural tradition. On the other side, Mount Damavand represents the country’s geography and natural scale. Therefore, the note offers more than a denomination reference; it also tells a compact visual story.
