| Obverse lettering | ESSAI BANQUE DES ETATS DE L'AFRIQUE CENTRALE (Translation: Pattern Bank of Central African States) |
| Reverse description | The denomination 500 FRANCS is prominently displayed in large numerals and lettering across the upper central field, with the legend REPUBLIQUE CENTRAFRICAINE arching along the upper border of the inner octagonal frame. A richly detailed arrangement of tropical agricultural plants — including cocoa pods, coffee branches with berries, and broad foliage — fills the lower central field, symbolising the natural resources of the Central African Republic. The date 1985, flanked by small decorative ornaments, appears in the exergue at the base of the design. |
