| Obverse description | A revolutionary procession vignette fills the face of the note, with turbaned mullahs leading a mass of marchers carrying portraits of Ayatollah Khomeini, evoking the imagery of the Islamic Revolution. Persian inscriptions identifying the issuing authority and denomination are arranged across the note, with guilloche underprint providing background security patterning. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a detailed architectural vignette of the Shrine of Lady Fatima Masumeh in Qom, rendered with fine line engraving to convey the complex's gilded dome, minarets, and surrounding sacred structures. The shrine encompasses a burial chamber, three courtyards, and three mosques — the Tabatabai, Bala Sar, and A'dham — all suggested in the intricate compositional rendering. Denomination numerals and English-language issuer inscriptions are set along the borders. |
