Obverse description	The obverse is dominated by an intaglio portrait of a Katangese miner wearing a hard hat with a lamp, positioned at center-left against a landscape vignette of an industrial mining scene rendered in dark brown tones. The denomination '500' appears in large numerals at lower left and upper right, with the date '01.08.60' at upper left beneath the issuer's name. Two signature lines are printed below the central vignette, captioned 'UN DIRECTEUR' and 'LE GOUVERNEUR', with a warning legend and the printer's imprint at the foot of the note.
