| Reverse description | The classic Iranian imperial arms occupy the central field: a rampant lion passant to the left, holding an upright sword in its right forepaw, with a radiant sun rising behind its back and a crown above. The lion and sun device is framed by a wreath of olive and oak branches tied at the base. Below the lion, the denomination '۵۰۰ دینار' (500 Dinars) is inscribed, with the Solar Hijri date '۱۳۳۰' (1330 AH / 1912 AD) appearing in the exergue beneath the wreath. The composition is enclosed within a dentilated border. |
