| Reverse description | A large intaglio vignette in green occupies the centre-left of the reverse, comprising a multi-figure allegorical composition evoking Uruguay's agricultural economy: a gaucho on horseback, workers harvesting grain, a flock of sheep in the foreground, and a woman reading beside an industrial port backdrop to the right. Denomination numerals "500" appear in guilloche cartouches at each corner, with the printer's imprint "Thomas De La Rue & Co. Ltd." at the foot of the design. An oval blank panel to the right serves as the watermark area. |
