| Reverse description | The central device features the Imperial Iranian Coat of Arms, comprising the Lion and Sun emblem surmounted by the Pahlavi Crown, the traditional symbol of the Iranian monarchy. The lion, shown passant and holding a sword, is positioned before a rising sun, rendered in intricate relief. Flanking the central shield are sprays of oak leaves to the left and olive branches to the right, symbolizing strength and peace respectively. The denomination legend 'Dah Pahlavi' (Ten Pahlavi) appears in Persian script within the lower portion of the design. The overall composition is framed within a well-defined circular border, consistent with the formal heraldic style employed on Imperial Iranian gold coinage. |
