| Obverse description | The obverse features the bold numeral '500' dominating the central field, with the word 'cruzeiros' rendered in a stylized lowercase legend beneath it. The country name 'BRASIL' is inscribed in capital letters along the upper portion of the field, while the date appears vertically along the left side adjacent to the numeral. A decorative motif of tropical foliage occupies the lower portion of the field, partially overlapping with the denomination, lending a naturalistic character to the design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed relief of a sea turtle (tartaruga marinha) shown in a dynamic swimming posture, viewed from a slightly elevated angle, with its characteristic scute-patterned carapace and scaled flippers rendered with considerable naturalistic detail. A horizontal line divides the upper field, within which the two-line legend 'TARTARUGA / MARINHA' is inscribed in capital letters. Stylized aquatic foliage appears in the lower field beneath the turtle, completing the wildlife conservation theme of the design. |
