A central vignette presents a resting lion and lioness with cubs in a rocky landscape, executed in fine line engraving. To the right, an oval portrait medallion contains a bust-length likeness of a distinguished gentleman in formal attire, flanked by guilloche ornaments and the denomination numeral '500' in an elaborate counter at lower left; three manuscript signatures appear along the lower margin above the imprint of the American Bank Note Co., New York. |

| Reverse description | Printed entirely in dark brown intaglio on an uncoloured ground, the reverse centres on a large arched vignette of a groom standing beside a heavy draught horse, with a second rearing horse and handler visible in the background. The central scene is framed by intricate guilloche rosettes and lathe-work panels at each corner, with the denomination '500' rendered in mirror-image counters at all four corners. The bank name is lettered in bold serif capitals along a panel at the foot of the design, with the printer's imprint below. |
