| Reverse description | The central field presents a detailed aerial-perspective panoramic view of the ancient Achaemenid ceremonial complex of Persepolis, depicting its columned halls, grand staircases, and ruined terraces rendered in fine engraving. Below the panorama, a rectangular panel reproduces a bas-relief frieze of robed tribute-bearers in procession, faithful to the original stone carvings found at Persepolis. The upper legend MERVEILLES DU MONDE DES CULTURES OUBLIEES arcs along the outer rim, flanked by decorative star ornaments. The date 1999 appears in the lower field, with PERSEPOLIS inscribed along the bottom rim. |
