| Obverse description | Black, dark-brown and green on orange and multicolour underprint, with a Persian carpet vignette as the central design motif. A Lion and Sun national emblem is overprinted over the watermark area, serving as the provisional obliteration of the royal portrait. An arabesque guilloche panel frames the Shah's portrait at right, itself obscured by the overprint. |
