| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold stylized calligraphic composition in the Persian Nastaliq script, filling the central field in a sweeping diagonal arrangement. The inscription reads 'Jomhuri-ye Eslami-ye Iran' (Islamic Republic of Iran), with the repeated letter 'nun' (ن) integrated decoratively into the design. The calligraphy is rendered in high relief against a flat field, creating a dramatic visual effect. The reeded edge border is clearly visible around the circumference. |
