| Obverse description | Intaglio portrait of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi in civilian suit at right, set within a guilloche-bordered vignette; a multicolour mythical Achaemenid bird figure (Huma) occupies the centre against a light underprint. Two signatures appear below the central vignette, with the bank name in Persian script at upper centre and the denomination صد ریال in large calligraphic script. |

| Obverse lettering | بانک ملی ایران صد ریال ١٣٣٠ (Translation: Bank Melli Iran / One Hundred Rials / 1330 [1951]) |
| Reverse description | Central intaglio vignette reproduces a bas-relief scene from Persepolis in which Darius the Great is enthroned in full royal regalia, receiving a dignitary while attendants and guards stand in formal procession to the left; two Achaemenid column bases flank the foreground. A large blank oval at right serves as the watermark window, with the bank name in Latin script at top and the denomination in both Persian and Latin characters flanking the design. |
