| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a large intaglio landscape of the Savadkuh railway viaduct spanning a deep mountain gorge, rendered in fine engraved detail with rocky valley walls receding into the background. The bank name in Persian script is inscribed across the top, with the denomination repeated in Persian script in each corner. Ornate floral and geometric guilloche borders frame all four sides, and a large unprinted circular area to the right serves as a watermark zone. |
