| Obverse description | The central vignette presents a rhythmic sequence of stylized human faces rendered in intaglio, symbolizing Brazil's diverse ethnic heritage against a fine guilloche underprint. The denomination '500' appears in the upper-left and lower-left quadrants in vertical orientation, with 'BANCO CENTRAL DO BRASIL' and the numeral '500' inscribed across the upper right. Serial numbers occupy the upper-left and lower-right corners, while two signature lines for the President of the Monetary Council and the President of the Central Bank are placed at the bottom center. |
