Obverse description The obverse is dominated by a central guilloche medallion enclosing the large numeral '500' in bold letterpress, set against an intricate lathe-work underprint in blue-green tones. To the left, an oval intaglio vignette presents a portrait of Simón Bolívar in military uniform, facing three-quarters right. The bank title 'BANCO DE VENEZUELA' arcs across the upper portion in large serif capitals, with the denomination legend 'VALE POR QUINIENTOS BOLÍVARES' inscribed in a central panel, and serial numbers appearing at lower left and right flanking the vignette.
