Note: Nourbaksh and Nemazi have been re-assigned to the same positions for the 2nd time and therefore Sign. 28 is same as Sign. 21. In order to keep the Prefix study and the newly issued banknotes in chronological order, we felt necessary to assign #28, rather than use #21.

I have found the way Pick catalog lists the Iranian banknotes of the past 30 years is very confusing and difficult to follow up.  Personally, I arrange the banknotes in chronological order (based on signature numbers), and find this system not only easy to follow, but easy to add all the new issues.  Following is a chart showing the Islamic Banknotes of Iran issued since 1980 (Pick 132 onward), in reverse chronological order (the most recent issues are at the beginning of the list).
