| Obverse description | A vignette at left presents a pair of impalas in the foreground, with a pastoral scene of trees and a grazing impala herd extending across the centre, and a single forward-facing impala at right. The overall composition is rendered in a naturalistic illustrative style typical of mid-20th century African banknote design. |

| Reverse description | At left, a group of traditional Rwandan drummers in ceremonial dress are arranged in a row, each playing a large drum; a bright circular light source behind them lends dramatic depth to the scene. At right, an open-cast mining vignette portrays workers extracting ore in a rocky quarry, rendered in warm ochre and terracotta tones. The denomination panel at the base reads AMAFRANGA 500 in red letterpress. |
