| Obverse description | Printed in blue, the obverse carries a central vignette of eleven figures engaged in an agricultural harvesting scene, with a rural landscape receding into the distance. The bank name appears in Finnish at left and in Swedish at right, with a large numeral 500 at centre-left and a blank shield cartouche at lower right. Two authorising signatures appear at bottom centre, the Litt. A designation is letterpress-printed in black at lower left, and serial numbers are placed at upper left and lower right, with the series year 1945 in the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by a fine guilloche underprint of radiating pine branches that fills the entire field. Finland's national coat of arms — a crowned lion rampant on a field strewn with roses — is set within a shield at centre. Large numerals 500 appear twice in the lower portion of the design, with smaller 500 numerals repeated in each of the four corners, and the year 1945 is inscribed in the bottom margin. |
