Obverse description Central field displays the Imperial Iranian arms: a passant lion rampant facing left, brandishing an upraised sword in its right forepaw, set before a radiant rising sun whose rays fan outward across the field. A Pahlavi crown surmounts the composition at the top. The lion and sun device is flanked by two decorative branches — an olive branch to the left and an oak branch to the right — joined at the base by a ribbon bow, forming a wreath. The Solar Hijri date ۱۳۰۵ appears in Persian numerals below the lion in the lower field, within the wreath.

Reverse description The entire reverse field is occupied by a bold nasta'liq calligraphic inscription in Persian, arranged in four sweeping diagonal lines reading from upper right to lower left. The text commemorates the Nowruz celebration of His Majesty Pahlavi, rendered in large, ornate characters that nearly fill the flan. The plain, unadorned field serves to emphasize the elegance of the calligraphy. A fine inner circle border frames the inscription, with a beaded border running along the coin's periphery.
