Iran Bank Melli 100 Rials ND (1937) / AH1316 Pick 35Bcts Color Trial Specimen PMG Choice About Unc 58. The three highest denominations of the French series were prepared with a forward-facing portrait of the Shah, but eventually all three were not issued. This rare Color Trial Specimen was prepared in red, in lieu of blue, and is quite scarce in any and all varieties. Two printer notations are seen, as well as solid zero serial numbers, and a perforated cancellation. Prepared by Thomas de la Rue, this is a very handsome prototype, and due to its rarity, it is also missing from many fine collections. The first we have offered. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Persia and the Middle East https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/iran-bank-melli-100-rials-nd-1937-ah1316-pick-35bcts-color-trial-specimen-pmg-choice-about-unc-58/a/4022-28071.s?type=CoinArchivesCurrency4022 HID08706262019 © 2020 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
