| Obverse description | The obverse is printed on a fine-line guilloche underprint in teal and yellow tones, with a central vignette of a stone tower from the ancient ksar of Tichit at right centre. A large transparent polymer window at left is framed by intricate Islamic geometric latticework in green and gold, incorporating a raised open-book motif. The national coat of arms with crescent and star appears at upper right alongside the bank name in Arabic script, the date, two authorising signatures, and the denomination numeral 500 rendered in optically variable ink. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents an intaglio vignette of a deep-sea fishing trawler at centre-left, rendered in dark blue over a layered guilloche background in teal, yellow, and gold. Stylised fish occupy the upper left quadrant as an underprint motif, referencing Mauritania's fishing industry. The transparent polymer window reappears at right within a geometric Islamic arch, and the denomination numeral 500 is printed at lower left and upper right, accompanied by the French-language bank name and the statutory counterfeiting warning in small letterpress text. |
