| Reverse description | Plain orange-brown underprint on cream paper with a large central guilloche panel bearing the denomination numeral 500.000 in bold outline lettering. The border is formed by a repetitive guilloche band carrying the legend ΤΡΑΠΕΖΑ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ in continuous inscription around all four sides, with small ornamental rosette motifs at the corners. The overall design is deliberately simple, with no vignette or pictorial element beyond the denomination and decorative underprint. |
