| Obverse description | The Bulgarian state coat of arms is centred at the top of the note, flanked on either side by elaborate guilloche vignettes forming the decorative framework of the face. The denomination numeral "500" appears within ornate cartouches at all four corners, while the issuer name and payment obligation clause are rendered in Cyrillic letterpress across the note. The overall design follows a classical late-nineteenth-century intaglio style consistent with Goznak production of the period. |

| Obverse lettering | Петстотинъ Лева Злато Българската Народна Банка Плаща Прѣдѫвителю въ замѣна на таѫ банкнота (Translation: Five Hundred Leva Gold The Bulgarian National Bank Pays the Bearer for exchange of this banknote) |
| Reverse description | The central field of the reverse carries the Cyrillic denomination inscription "ПЕТСТОТИНЪ ЛЕВА" arranged within a wreath motif, set against a background of intricate guilloche underprint work. A forgery warning in Cyrillic text runs along the lower portion of the note, citing specific articles of the Bulgarian criminal code. The composition is typical of Goznak-produced notes of the era, with finely engraved geometric lathe-work filling the surrounding margins. |
