I'm just curious whether the overprints (on the left side -covering the Shah watermark) on the 3rd Provisional Issue of Shah overprints from Iran (such as the ones seen on this P-124 500 Riyals or P-123 to 126)? Would these also qualify as an examples of a tughras on banknotes?

I don't see the egg or the tug...I can see how it would be tughra-esque...but I can't identify any of the parts I would expect to see. I also wonder if the mullah leadership of a religious Iran would use a symbol reminiscent of the Ottoman Empire on their currency...your question is very thought provoking...

-The entire short-lived 1981 Series has the inverse of the design (which appears to be a religious symbol similar to the tughra) seen on the 3rd Provisional Issue such as seen on this 10,000 Rials.
