| Obverse description | Fantasy note based on the 500 Francs Pierre et Marie Curie type, with a portrait vignette of American R&B artist Usher Raymond IV substituted for the original subjects. The Arc de Triomphe appears beneath a pair of legs clad in tights, integrated into the guilloche underprint. |

| Reverse description | Reverse draws from the 500 Francs Pierre et Marie Curie design tradition, with a central vignette of La Seine Musicale, the concert hall situated on the Île Seguin in Boulogne-Billancourt, replacing the original architectural motif. The legend NON COURS LEGAL confirms the non-legal-tender fantasy status of the piece. |
