| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by an intaglio portrait vignette of the Portuguese poet Luís Vaz de Camões (1524–1580), rendered in armour and a laurel wreath, positioned to the right of centre. The upper left carries the issuing authority legend 'BANCO DE ANGOLA', while the colonial coat of arms of Angola appears in the upper right quadrant above the serial number and numeral '500'; the denomination 'QUINHENTOS ESCUDOS' is set centrally across a fine guilloche underprint. A circular watermark zone occupies the left field, with the serial number repeated below it and the date '10 DE JUNHO DE 1973' together with the Governor and Vice-Governor signature lines running along the lower margin. |
