| Obverse description | At right, an intaglio portrait of Reza Shah Pahlavi in military uniform is rendered in right-facing profile without headgear, set against a fine guilloche underprint that covers the note face. The central field carries the denomination ده ریال within an ornate cartouche of Islamic geometric design, surmounted by the bank title بانک ملی ایران in Persian script; two signature lines appear below the vignette. A Persian-script legal tender panel runs along the lower margin, with the note date فروردین ۱۳۱۷ inscribed within the design. |

| Reverse description | The central field of the reverse carries a wide intaglio landscape vignette of a rural valley framed by cypress and poplar trees in the left foreground, with cultivated fields and a small farmhouse at centre-right and the Alborz Mountains rising beneath a clouded sky in the background. An ornate border of interlaced Persian arabesque patterns surrounds the composition, with the denomination ده ریال repeated in stylized cartouches at each corner. |
