| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in olive-brown and green tones with a geometric guilloche border. A large landscape vignette occupying the left and centre of the note depicts a ruined fortress set against mountainous terrain under an open sky, printed with fine intaglio detail. At upper centre, the bilingual bank title 'BANQUE MELLIE IRAN' in Latin script and its Persian equivalent appear above the oval overprint 'UN PAHLEVI'. To the right, an intaglio vignette within a wreath frame shows the imperial Iranian lion-and-sun emblem. Denomination numerals '100' and the word 'RIALS' appear in all four corners, and a French-language legal warning is printed in small letterpress text along the lower margin. |
