About Us
About BanknotesHub
At BanknotesHub, rare banknotes are more than collectibles — they are living records of history, culture, and artistry. Our passion for Pahlavi, Persian, and Middle Eastern numismatics runs deep, rooted in a family tradition passed down through generations. What began as a cherished family pursuit has grown, over more than a decade, into one of the most trusted sources for serious collectors worldwide.
Our Heritage & Expertise
Our connection to Persian and Middle Eastern numismatics is personal. For generations, our family has studied, preserved, and celebrated the extraordinary banknotes of the Pahlavi era and the broader Middle Eastern world. This heritage gives us an eye for authenticity and rarity that goes beyond textbook knowledge — it is something felt and lived.
With over 10 years of active dealing and collecting experience, we have built deep expertise in identifying, grading, and sourcing pieces that meet the exacting standards of the world's most discerning collectors.
Expert Grading & Authenticity
Every banknote we offer is carefully evaluated for authenticity and condition. We work with PMG (Paper Money Guaranty) — the world's leading third-party grading service for paper currency — to provide independent, certified grades on our most significant pieces. PMG certification gives you confidence that what you are purchasing is genuine, accurately graded, and protected for the long term.
For ungraded pieces, our in-house assessment draws on years of hands-on experience and reference to the most authoritative catalogues in the field. We never compromise on accuracy.
Sourcing & Curation
Our inventory is carefully curated from trusted sources — private collections, specialist auctions, and long-standing relationships within the numismatic community. We focus on quality over quantity, selecting only pieces that meet our strict standards for rarity, condition, and historical significance.
Every item listed on BanknotesHub has been personally reviewed and verified before it reaches you.
