Obverse description	Printed entirely in red on cream paper, the obverse is organized around a central guilloche-bordered panel flanked by ornate foliate scrollwork vignettes. The large denomination numeral '500' appears in bold at upper left and upper right within the panel, while the central text inscription is framed by intricate lace-like guilloche underprint. Below the central panel, the year '1944' is set within a small cartouche, and anti-counterfeiting text 'FALŠOVANIE SA TRESTÁ' appears in a boxed legend at center bottom. The Cyrillic denomination 'ПЯТСОТ КРОН' is rendered in smaller text at the lower left and right corners.

Reverse description	The reverse is printed in red on cream paper and consists entirely of an elaborate geometric and foliate guilloche design without any figurative vignette. A large bold numeral '500' occupies the center of the composition, set within a radiating sunburst guilloche pattern surrounded by concentric lace-like borders. Smaller '500' numerals appear at the upper left and upper right corners within scalloped frames, and decorative scroll motifs anchor the lower corners, creating a symmetrical, purely ornamental layout.
