Obverse lettering AMSTERDAM 2 DECEMBER 1930 DE NEDERLANDSCHE BANK BETTALT AAN TOONDER VIJF HONDERD GULDEN LION CACHET FEC
(Translation: Amsterdam, December 2, 1930 Bank of Netherlands Pay to the Bearer Five Hundred Gulden)
Reverse description Printed in blue-gray tones, the reverse is dominated by an elaborate central medallion of concentric guilloche rosettes surrounded by four interlocking lozenge-shaped cartouches filled with fine lathe-work. The margins are populated with stylized sea creatures — dolphins, serpentine fish, and mermaids at the lower corners — all rendered in the ornamental Art Nouveau manner characteristic of Lion Cachet's design vocabulary. The anti-counterfeiting statutory text from the Dutch Criminal Code appears in two columns at the right margin.
