| Obverse description | Pink and black guilloche underprint covers the entire field, with the game name 'MONOPOLY' arched across a central banner. A white oval vignette at centre bears the denomination numeral '500' and the Crédit Mutuel sponsor logotype below. Corner cartouches carry denomination numerals and Monopoly game piece icons — a locomotive and a house. |

Novelty Monopoly currency printed to mimic the European Central Bank's 500 euro note — the highest denomination in the real series, withdrawn from circulation by the ECB in 2019 partly over concerns about its use in illicit transactions. The Angers edition places this in a regional series of locally branded Monopoly sets produced for the French market, where city-specific editions became a minor publishing industry through the 2000s and 2010s.
No legal tender status, no issuing authority in any monetary sense. Collector interest is purely hobbyist — notaphilists occasionally catalog these alongside genuine fantasy notes and ersatz issues.
