IRAN-AZERBAIJAN ?? help !!




As Far as i can work out Iran-Azerbaijan only existed for 1-2 years in 1945-6 when the soviet union declared the NW region of Iran as an autonimous region but cant really find any other info.

The note above is, I think, is a 50 Toman note from 1946 (SH 1324), other than that i have no info on it at all.



This note i bought as an Iran-Azerbaijanian note  but have no info on it at all and i suspect it has been mis-identified. anyone with a similar note or info on it would be greatly appreciated !! leave a comment and i will add it to here with a acknowledgement>

UPDATE: Finally found out some info on the note above it is from the Bukharan soviet people's republic. see more HERE

IRAN




The Islamic republic of Iran has its capital city of Tehran. Until 1935 it was known as Persia and became an Islamic republic in 1979 after a revolution exiled the Shah ( the monarch ) setting up a religious government with Ayatolllah Khomeini as the Supreme leader. For most of the 1980's Iran and Iraq fought a bloody war, US and Iranian relations have been strained since that time.

Monetary Units:
1 Shahi = 50 dinars    )
1 qiran = 20 shahis     ) (AH 1241 - AH 1344; SH 1204 - SH 1309; 1825 - 1931)
1 Toman = 20 qirans  )

1 Shahi = 5 Dinars                  )
1 rial = 20 Shahi = 100 dinars   )SH 1310 (1932) onward
1 Toman = 10 rials                  )

Tomans are not used in modern currency but people often refer to it in daily life.

The note above is the 100 Rials note from 198  with Ayatollah Modarres on the front and the parliament building on the reverse. this one has a watermark of Ayatollah Khomeini.
