Obverse description	A central intaglio portrait vignette of an elderly José G. Artigas occupies the middle of the face, with the national coat of arms positioned below, flanked by two allegorical figures — a female representing the arts and a male representing the sciences. The issuer's name runs across the top, a bearer payment clause is inscribed along the left margin, and the governing law citation together with the date of Montevideo, 25 August 1931, appears at right.

Reverse description	The face value numeral "500" and the denomination text "QUINIENTOS PESOS" are centred within the main panel, with the issuer's name split between the upper and lower registers of the design. Allegorical male and female figures, personifying the sciences and arts respectively, fill the lateral vignettes on either side of the central value panel, providing a symmetrical, classically inspired composition.
