| Beschrijving voorzijde | Typeset note printed in black on cream paper, dominated by a large central oval cartouche enclosing the denomination inscription 'cinq cents francs' in bold letterpress, above the payability clause 'Especes, à vue, au porteur' and a handwritten date line for Paris. Small classical portrait vignettes — likely allegorical female heads — appear at each corner of the oval border, with the denomination '500f.' repeated in a lower panel flanked by additional vignettes. Elaborate calligraphic scrollwork fills the margins, and handwritten signatures of the Directeur Général and the régents appear across the lower portion of the face. |

| Opmerkingen |
The Caisse des comptes courants was one of several short-lived Parisian clearinghouses that briefly issued paper money before being absorbed into the newly chartered Banque de France in 1800 — this note effectively bridges those two institutions, issued under the old name but within weeks of the merger. Firmin Didot, better known as a typographer and punchcutter, brought an unusual typographic precision to the design; the lettering is more considered than on most contemporary French paper.
At over twelve million printed, the run was substantial for the period. The watermark remains the sole security measure.
