| Reverse description | The reverse, rendered entirely in violet, presents a large central vignette based on an Achaemenid bas-relief scene: a royal chariot drawn by galloping horses, with an archer in combat and a winged Faravahar symbol above, framed by palm trees and cuneiform-inscribed columns. The legend BANK MELLI IRAN is printed in Latin characters at top center, with RIALS 10 at bottom center. Ornamental guilloche panels and floral scroll borders fill the lateral margins, with the denomination ده ریال repeated in Persian script at far left and right. |
