Reverse description The right field is occupied by an intaglio vignette of a robed rider mounted on a dromedary camel, set against a desert canyon landscape with a watering hole and a small camel caravan in the middle distance. A large parabolic radar dish on a lattice tower dominates the left field, symbolising modern telecommunications. The note is framed by an ornate foliate border, with the denomination 500 in pink cartouches at upper corners and the title ÉTATS DE L'AFRIQUE ÉQUATORIALE across the top.
