| Obverse description | The denomination '۱۰۰۰ ریال' (1000 Rials) is inscribed prominently in the center of the field, accompanied by the currency symbol. The circular legend 'جمهوری اسلامی ایران' (Islamic Republic of Iran) arcs across the upper portion of the coin. The Solar Hijri year of mintage '۱۳۸۹' (1389) appears in the lower field. A stylized wheat sheaf flanks each side of the central denomination, lending an agricultural motif to the design. |

| Additional information |
Eid al-Ghadir commemorates the event at Ghadir Khumm where Shia Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad designated Ali ibn Abi Talib as his successor — a claim that sits at the theological heart of the Sunni-Shia split. Iran has issued commemorative coinage for this occasion periodically since the Islamic Republic's founding, a practice that doubles as quiet doctrinal assertion. This piece appeared two years after Iran's 2008 monetary redenomination discussions, which ultimately went nowhere for another decade.
