Here are some notes that caught my eye in the upcoming Archives International Auction 61.

Lot 458: Iran 500 Tomans Scrip Note
Persia (Iran), 500 Tomans, unissued "I owe you" scrip note, un-numbered, no signatures of cashier or manager, and date left blank apart from first 2 digits of the year, "12__" which is most likely the Hijri calendar. Faint undertint reads H.M. NERAGHI AND SONS, and also on the left side text in Farsi reads "Haji Mohammad Neraghi and Sons". UNC. Unusual.
Unusual, interesting item.
