| Obverse description | Within a decagonal border, the denomination '500 FRANCS' is inscribed prominently in large numerals and lettering across the upper central field. A naturalistic spray of cocoa plant branches fills the lower half of the field, rendered in fine relief with pods, flowers, and leaves depicted in careful botanical detail. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE GABONAISE' curves along the upper rim, while the date '1985' appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small decorative elements. |
