| Reverse description | A central intaglio vignette reproduces the Achaemenid motif of two confronted winged bulls (lamassu) flanking a stylised tree of life, drawn from the ancient reliefs of Persepolis, set against a warm orange guilloche underprint. To the right, the circular seal of the Islamic Republic of Iran — rendered in dark intaglio with radiating lines and a ring of stars — is set within an ornamental floral and arabesque panel. Denomination numerals '500' appear in the upper corners and the value '500 RIALS' is printed in the lower left, with the bank title 'BANK MARKAZI IRAN' across the top. |
