| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a detailed intaglio view of the Abadan oil refinery complex, with tall distillation columns, pipework and industrial structures extending across the composition against a lightly hatched sky. The bank title 'BANK MARKAZI IRAN' appears in Latin script within a dark rectangular panel at the top, while the denomination is rendered in Persian and Latin numerals in the lower corners and along the bottom margin. Elaborate guilloche borders and foliate corner ornaments frame the entire reverse in deep rose-red. |
