A border of small beads runs along the inner periphery of the coin. The Arabic legend 'بارگاه امام رضا (ع)' (Sanctuary of Imam Reza) is inscribed in the lower field beneath the architectural motif. |

| Additional information |
This issue spans the Khatami presidency, a period when reformist political pressure and hardline institutional resistance were creating measurable economic instability. The rial had lost roughly 97% of its value against the dollar since the 1979 revolution, making low-denomination coinage like this increasingly symbolic in daily commerce. By the mid-2000s, Iranian bazaar merchants routinely rounded transactions to the nearest 500 rials simply because smaller amounts had lost practical meaning.
