| Obverse description | The obverse presents a richly detailed composition inspired by ancient Egyptian antiquities from the Louvre collection. At center, a standing pharaonic figure in the round — rendered as a sculpted statuette — is depicted frontally, wearing the double crown (pschent) and a nemes headdress, with a smaller royal figure standing before him. Flanking the central group are two large Eyes of Horus (wedjat eyes), rendered in high relief with dramatic stylized brows and teardrops. The entire field is covered with incised hieroglyphic inscriptions, cartouches, and symbolic motifs evoking an Egyptian temple wall, while a stylized pyramid in relief forms the background. The denomination '500 EURO' appears in the upper left field in a distinctive period-style typeface. |
