| Obverse description | Portrait of an African woman in traditional dress and beaded jewelry at left, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The central vignette presents a lakeside scene at sunset with a large watermark void circle, various wading birds and flamingos in flight across the middle ground, and a stork at the water's edge at right. Geometric guilloche panels in red and ochre frame the note at upper left and right corners, with the denomination numeral 500 repeated at each corner. |

The central vignette shows students engaged in woodworking and scientific laboratory work, flanking a central watermark circle. At far right stands a full-length dark wooden African figurine statuette. The overall background is covered with a dense repeating palm-leaf guilloche underprint in terracotta tones. |
