| Obverse description | The coat of arms of San Marino occupies the central field, depicting a shield with three towers surmounted by a mural crown, flanked by a laurel branch to the left and an oak branch to the right. The circular legend REPUBBLICA DI SAN MARINO arcs around the upper periphery, while the motto LIBERTAS appears along the lower border, separated by small rosette stops. The design is executed in a clean, neoclassical style with finely detailed heraldic elements rendered in low relief. |

| Reverse description | A stylized bust of a young woman in right profile dominates the field, her hair swept back in an elegant flowing manner with fine engraved striations conveying movement. Two cupped hands are rendered in the lower field, partially framing the large denomination numeral 500, with the initial L for Lire integrated into the design. The date 1981 is inscribed in the upper left field, and the Rome Mint mark R appears discreetly to the lower left of the design. The composition is boldly conceived in a modern artistic idiom, merging the figural portrait and denomination into a single unified graphic motif. |
