| Obverse description | The right half of the note is occupied by an intaglio vignette of the José Rizal Monument in Luneta Park, Manila, rendered with fine engraved linework against a cloudy sky. A large guilloche numeral "500" with "PESOS" inscribed within it occupies the centre, flanked on the left by a pale underprint legend reading "FIVE HUNDRED" in large block letters. Ornate scrollwork corner pieces and hatched lathe-work borders frame the entire design, with the issuer legend "THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT" arched across the top and a Japanese kanji inscription running along the lower border. |
