Pick 108 belongs to the final series issued under Mohammad Reza Shah before the 1979 revolution ended the Pahlavi dynasty entirely. By 1976 — the year Iran formally adopted the Imperial calendar, resetting the date to 2535 — the country was flush with oil revenues and the rial was superficially stable, but inflationary pressure was already building beneath that surface.
Thomas De La Rue had printed Iranian notes continuously since the early Pahlavi period, a relationship that ended abruptly when the revolutionary government severed ties with foreign printers. This issue predates that break by roughly three years.
