Central Bank of Iran 100 rials note, 50th anniversary of the Pahlavi monarchy, 1355 (1976)
A 100-rial note of the Central Bank of Iran whose right half is a double profile of two uniformed rulers, Reza Shah behind and Mohammad Reza Shah in front, above a stylised building. Commons catalogues it as marking fifty years of Pahlavi rule. Placing father and son together on currency attaches the dynasty's continuity to money every citizen handles.
