| Reverse description | Central intaglio vignette of the Tomb of Daniel (Aramgah-e Danyal) in Susa, rendered in precise architectural detail, with its distinctive conical muqarnas tower rising above an arched entrance and flanking arcaded walls. The composition is framed by elaborate floral and arabesque borders in the Persian decorative tradition, with the denomination پنج ریال inscribed in the upper corners and repeated in the lower corners within cartouches. A large unprinted oval at right serves as a light background area, consistent with the note's security design. |
