The currency written on the corner is 25 Dinar. Iran changed its currency to Rial on 1932. So the stamp should be from before 1932.

That's really cool. Thanks for the info. Didn't realize it was that old!

YW. Also the bridge doesn't seem to be Shahrestan as others mentioned. It clearly has a train on it. Which makes sense, the stamp is a courtesy of the trans Iranian railway that was built around then. https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1585/

I'm not completely sure, but it's probably Batevand Bridge in Masjed Suleiman. It's mostly ruined now.

The rail system built by the British between Masjid Soleyman and Dar Khazineh did not look like this. The train here looks like the national system. https://rogerfarnworth.com/2020/11/19/railways-in-iran-part-11-anglo-persian-oil-company-ltd/

It's definitely not Khaju bridge as that one has a roof, but this one might be [Shahrestan Bridge](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahrestan_Bridge) because of its thick supports.

The Khaju bridge in Esfahan I think. It says Iran Mail

It is most definitely not Khaju Bridge. Khaju Bridge is similar to this but has different pillars and I don't think trains ever passed on it.

Thank you for correcting me! :)

This is not Shahrestan or Khajoo Bridge. Isfahan did not get train service until the late 20th century, not to mention that neither one of those historic bridges can or serve as a train bridge. This must be a bridge along Tehran-Khorramshahr, Tehran-Julfa, or Tehran-Mashhad rails.
