Obverse description	Central vignette carries the Arabic denomination text and the issuer name in Arabic script against an elaborate guilloche underprint in shades of red, green, and purple. The state arms of Qatar — a dhow and palm trees within a circular cartouche — appear at right, while the denomination numeral 500 is rendered in large Arabic-Indic figures at left. Serial numbers appear twice in both Arabic-Indic and Western numerals, and a single intaglio signature line is printed below the central inscription.

Reverse description	A large intaglio vignette occupies the centre of the note, rendered in blue-green tones, and shows a jack-up offshore oil drilling platform at sea with its three derrick towers clearly delineated. The English issuer name runs vertically along the right margin, while the denomination in English appears horizontally across the upper portion of the note. The lower register carries a geometric guilloche band in violet and the numeral 500 is repeated in the upper-right corner in ornate script.
