| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Jean-Claude Duvalier rendered in high relief against a smooth field, with the engraver's signature SOCCORSI inscribed in small lettering below the portrait. The legend REPUBLIQUE D'HAITI arcs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative inscription XEME ANNIVERSAIRE DE LA PRESIDENCE A VIE DE JEAN-CLAUDE DUVALIER curves along the lower portion of the coin in two lines. The portrait displays a plain-collared bust with a naturalistic, medallic style typical of Italian engraving of the period. |

| Reverse description | A farmer operating a tractor is depicted in the center field, moving across plowed furrows that radiate diagonally toward the lower right, evoking agricultural development. A stylized sunburst motif rises in the upper right field, its rays fanning outward in a decorative arc. The word DEVELOPPEMENT is inscribed along the upper periphery, while the denomination 500 GOURDES appears in two lines at the lower right. The date 1981 and the mint mark R are positioned in the lower left field. The overall composition is executed in a clean, medallic style with strong contrast between the relief elements and the smooth background. |
