| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Grand Duke Jean (1921–2000) occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief with naturalistic portraiture. A circular legend surrounds the bust, identifying the subject and his title, while the face value is incorporated within the inscription. Beneath the truncation appear the initials 'IML' (Institut Monétaire Luxembourgeois), denoting the issuing monetary authority. The design reflects a restrained, classical approach consistent with mid-twentieth-century European commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | The upper half of the central field displays a strophe from the Luxembourgish national anthem 'Ons Heemecht' (rendered in Luxembourgish as 'Hémecht') arranged along the curve of the inner circle. The lower half features the American and Luxembourgish flags arranged symmetrically and adapted to the circular format, commemorating the liberation of Luxembourg in 1944. A radiating sunburst occupies the upper border with the denomination '500 F' at its center, while the lower border carries the commemorative inscription with the dates 1944 and 1994. The overall composition balances heraldic and patriotic imagery within a precisely structured circular design. |
