Iran Kingdom of Persia, Imperial Bank 500 Tomans ND (1890-1923) Pick 9s Specimen PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ. A simply stunning and impressive banknote; imposing in size and desirable as a high denomination issue. There are a mere two examples of this type as a Specimen currently graded by PMG, and this is by far the finer of the two. Gem qualities abound: the centering is exacting, the paper is crisp, and the ink is bright. Perforated cancellations are "as made" by printer Bradbury, Wilkinson & Company. The serial number range indicates that only 100 notes were to be issued for a specific date of this note. This is the first we have offered and the key note of this early Tomans series. From the The Ibrahim Salem Collection of Islamic Countries Part I https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/iran-kingdom-of-persia-imperial-bank-500-tomans-nd-1890-1923-pick-9s-specimen-pmg-gem-uncirculated-66-epq/a/4041-24134.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4041-11152022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
