Significance: 

Issued in 1330 SH (1951) under Bank Melli, the dark-blue 200 Rials banknote (Pick-58) is a notable historical issue from the early reign of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. Printed by Harrison & Sons, the obverse features the Young Shah's third banknote portrait wearing a civilian suit—a rare framing that was rarely repeated on Pahlavi paper currency—alongside ancient reliefs and ruins from the Palace of Darius at Persepolis. The reverse prominently depicts the iconic Safavid-era Allahverdi Khan Bridge (popularly known as Si-o-Seh Pol or the Bridge of Thirty-Three Spans) in Isfahan, framing Safavid engineering beside ancient Achaemenid architecture to highlight the breadth of the Persian cultural heritage.
