Obverse description An equestrian statue of a mounted figure on a tall pedestal occupies the right-center vignette, set before the Banque d'État du Maroc building framed by palm trees. The denomination 500 appears in the upper-right and lower-left corners, with the date 29-5-51 printed centrally below the serial number field. A fine guilloche underprint fills the note, with the bank title across the top and the value legend CINQ CENTS FRANCS along the lower margin.

Arabic inscriptions appear at the top and bottom of the note, with three signature fields and the denomination 500 in the lower portion. The border is composed of an ornate repeating geometric pattern consistent with traditional Moorish decorative style.
