| Obverse description | Red and pink intaglio-printed note with dense guilloche borders framing the entire face. An oval portrait vignette at left centre shows a young woman in period dress with an elaborate coiffure, rendered in fine engraved line work. The trilingual bank title — in German, Italian, and French — is set across the upper register, with the denomination in large numerals at the upper corners and centre, the authorising law date, serial number, place and date of issue, and three manuscript signature lines arranged across the lower half. |

| Reverse description | Brown monochrome intaglio print with elaborate guilloche surrounds and lathe-work borders. The central vignette, after a composition by Eugène Burnand, shows three women engaged in lacework or embroidery in a well-lit interior, a leaded window visible behind them. The denomination 500 appears in each corner, with the trilingual bank title distributed along the upper and lower margins and vertical side panels. |
