The pound sterling (GBP) is the official currency of the United Kingdom, issued by the Bank of England. It is one of the oldest currencies still in circulation, and in Iran's free market it is widely seen as the most in-demand Western currency after the dollar and the euro — bought mainly by students, travellers and families sending tuition or living costs to the UK.
All circulating Bank of England banknotes are polymer: £5, £10, £20 and £50. The old paper £20 and £50 notes ceased to be legal tender after 30 September 2022 and Iranian exchange shops no longer accept them; in practice they can only be exchanged in the UK — at the Bank of England with no time limit, and at some banks and participating Post Office branches.
Worth knowing when buying: several commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland print their own notes. Those are generally accepted inside the UK, but Iranian sarrafis typically pay full rate only for Bank of England notes and either refuse or discount Scottish and Northern Irish ones — check the issuing bank when taking delivery.
As of today, British Pound is about 274,500 Toman on Dolarchand, an increase of 4,300 Toman from yesterday's 270,200 Toman.

Bank of England polymer notes (£5–£50) trade without issue. Scottish and Northern Irish bank notes are usually refused or bought at a discount, and the old paper £20/£50 notes have not been legal tender since September 2022.
One pound has typically traded around $1.2–1.4 in recent years, so its Toman price sits proportionally above the dollar's. In practice the free-market pound rate tracks the global GBP/USD rate multiplied by the free-market dollar price.
