(x) Imperial Bank of Persia, specimen 25 Tomans, ND (1890-1923), serial number range G/A 15001 - G/A 17000,
this note is fine example of such an elusive denomination for collectors and connoisseurs alike. This specimen has a serial number range of only 2000 notes and, despite lacking a printed date and signatures, a subtle printer's annotation on the reverse dates this specimen to September 1911.

A scarce banknote, the fantastic condition is only surpassed by one other note on the PMG census
(Pick 6s, BNB 108), in PMG holder 64 Choice Uncirculated, printer´s annotation, previously mounted, only one note in higher grade on PMG census

Subject to 5% tax on Hammer Price in addition to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.
