Reverse description The reverse presents a modernist stylized depiction of a dove in profile, rendered in bold graphic relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, with the bird's body occupying the upper portion of the design and its sweeping tail curling elegantly to the lower left. A small teardrop symbol is incused on the breast of the dove, referencing themes of sorrow and compassion associated with human rights. The denomination 500 is inscribed in large numerals along the lower field in a clean, contemporary typeface consistent with the coin's modernist artistic style.
