| Obverse description | Entirely gold-plated surface reproducing the design of the genuine 500 Euro First Series note, with a large '500' numeral in the upper right rendered in dark intaglio-style relief against fine guilloche wave patterns. The central vignette presents a Renaissance-style architectural portal and facade in the right half of the note, surrounded by a ring of EU stars, with the denomination '500' repeated in the lower left alongside the bilingual legend 'EURO / ΕΥΡΩ'. A rectangular hologram-area vignette placeholder is visible in the upper left, consistent with the original note layout. |
