| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in a predominantly yellow-green palette with orange accent bars at the top and right edges, set against a circular guilloche underprint in blue and lavender tones. The central vignette presents a detailed polychrome illustration of a Russian steam locomotive of the U127 class, rendered in black and orange-red with yellow wheel spokes, positioned on a track with a faint architectural background; a cartouche at center-left reads '1910 / U127 / STEAM LOCOMOTIVE'. The denomination '500 DOLLARS' appears in large dotted numerals at upper right, the text 'ANTARCTICA' runs vertically along the left border, and 'FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS' is printed in large bold lettering across the lower portion, with a facsimile signature below the title 'Governor' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in the same yellow-green and muted rose palette, with a large central vignette showing a photographic-style color illustration of the Luz Station, a grand 19th-century Neo-Gothic railway terminus with ornate facades, arched windows, and a prominent clock tower at right. A green oval guilloche rosette occupies the right field, overlaid by a circular 'ANTARCTICA' microtext ring, while a decorative map underprint appears at far right with 'ANTARCTICA' printed vertically along the right border. The denomination '500 DOLLARS' is displayed in dotted numerals at upper left, 'ALEXANDER I ISLAND' appears below it, and 'FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS' is set in bold at lower left; a green banner inscribed 'THE LUZ STATION' runs along the base of the vignette. |
