Iran Imperial Bank of Persia 1 Toman ND (1890-1923) Pick 1b Specimen. Beginning in 1890, the Imperial Bank of Persia contracted with Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. to provide a series of notes for circulation which would ultimately be used from 1890 to 1923. The denominations included 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 500, and 1000 Tomans. The highest two denominations were held in reserve at the National Treasury. The basic design for each denomination was common with only the size of the note and the color of the back changing. Naser al-Din Shah Qajar, Shah of Iran from 1848-1896, appeared on the face of each note along with a rendition of the Coat of Arms of Persia. The backs were elaborately engraved with the central focus again being the sword-wielding lion, the Coat of Arms of Persia. The smallest denominations had somewhat simplified back designs. Payable at Tehran, this black serial number 1 Toman note is perforated SPECIMEN. PMG About Uncirculated 55. From The Lim & Lim Collection
Estimate: 1500-3000 USD
