To the left, a standing classical female allegory with a tablet and staff is rendered in finely engraved detail; to the lower right, a seated putto rests beside a denomination cartouche. The denomination numeral '500' appears in three positions across the note, with series and number references printed in red, and the printer's imprint of Bradbury Wilkinson & Co., Londres at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Predominantly dark green intaglio design centred on a large guilloche oval containing the denomination in all three Swiss national languages on stacked registers, flanked left and right by circular medallions each bearing a classical female profile in bust, surrounded by repeating '500' numeral bands. Corner cartouches in the upper and lower margins repeat the denomination numerals within ornamental frames, and a continuous engine-turned border encloses the entire composition. |
