Two central vignettes are set within ornate frames: at left, a bas-relief scene of an Achaemenid warrior in ancient Persian dress, and at right, a three-quarter portrait of Reza Shah Pahlavi in military uniform with decorations. The denomination 1000 appears in an oval cartouche at center, with the Persian inscription 'یک هزار ریال' below in large script.

| Reverse description | Dark green intaglio-printed reverse dominated by a large central vignette of the Faravahar (Zoroastrian winged symbol) with a human figure. Two circular medallions at upper left and right each contain a Lion and Sun (Shir-o-Khorshid) emblem. Elaborate guilloche lace-work fills the borders, with corner numerals 1000 repeated on all sides. The issuance date in Persian and the denomination appear in two lines flanking the Faravahar, with the printer's imprint 'AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY' at the very bottom. |
