Obverse description	A rhinoceros grazing faces left at right, set against a lightly sketched landscape background, rendered in intaglio in brown tones. At left, a guilloche panel carries the value inscription "CINQ CENTS FRANCS" and "PAYABLES A VUE" in bold letterpress. The bank title "BANQUE D'EMISSION DU RWANDA ET DU BURUNDI" runs across the top, with denomination numerals "500" at each upper corner, two facsimile signatures below the vignette, and the date and serial number printed in the lower margin.
