| Obverse lettering | BANK OF GUYANA FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS $500 GOVERNOR MINISTER OF FINANCE THESE NOTES ARE LEGAL TENDER FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY AMOUNT |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a detailed intaglio vignette of the Parliament Buildings in Georgetown, rendered in purple and mauve tones against a light guilloche background. The inscription "BANK OF GUYANA" runs along the top in bold letterpress, with "FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS" in large type across the lower centre and the denomination numeral "$500" repeated in each corner. The overall design employs fine line engraving to convey architectural detail of the colonial-era structure. |
