| Obverse description | Central field bears the denomination '1000 Rials' in Persian numerals, flanked by stylized wheat spikes rising on either side. The circular legend around the periphery reads 'Islamic Republic of Iran' in Arabic script at the top, with the Persian calendar date 1390 at the bottom. The overall design is geometric and heraldic in character, consistent with post-revolutionary Iranian coinage. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized arrangement of narcissus flowers (known as 'Nargess' in Persian), rendered in a decorative floral motif. The narcissus is symbolically significant as it is the name of the mother of the Twelfth Imam of Shia Islam, Muhammad al-Mahdi. The legend 'Nimeh Sha'ban' (Half of Sha'ban) appears prominently in Arabic script, commemorating the birth anniversary of the Twelfth Imam celebrated on the 15th of Sha'ban in the Islamic lunar calendar. The design is framed by a beaded or plain inner border. |
