| Obverse description | Multicolour intaglio and offset printing. A portrait vignette of naturalist and scientist Augusto Ruschi (1915–1986) is positioned to the right, flanked by elaborate allegories of flora and fauna rendered in fine chalcographic detail, with a prominent representation of Cattleya labiata warneri — an orchid species emblematic of Espírito Santo and the largest flower of its genus in Brazil — occupying a central decorative role. The face value numeral '500' appears in the lower left, with the issuer's title 'BANCO CENTRAL DO BRASIL' inscribed across the upper portion of the note. |
