| Obverse description | Central field bears the large numeral denomination '100' in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals, with the word 'ریال' (Rials) to the left. The legend 'جمهوری اسلامی ایران' (Islamic Republic of Iran) curves along the upper rim in Arabic script. The Solar Hijri date appears in the lower central field. A decorative frieze of stylized floral and rosette motifs runs along the lower portion of the field, and a border of small circular beads encircles the entire design. |

| Additional information |
This series spans the difficult post-war decade following the Iran-Iraq conflict, during which Iran's economy labored under reconstruction costs, oil revenue volatility, and sustained U.S. sanctions. The rial had already lost catastrophic value through the 1980s, making a 100-rial coin of diminishing practical use as the series progressed into the late 1990s — by 2000, it bought almost nothing in daily commerce.
KM#1261 saw production across multiple Iranian mint years under the Solar Hijri calendar, accounting for the extended Gregorian date range.
