| Obverse description | The bimetallic obverse features the large stylised numeral '500' occupying the copper-nickel centre, with the denomination inscription 'tolarjev' rendered in small lettering below the numerals within the inner disc. The date '2004' is inscribed at the top of the nickel-brass outer ring, while the legend 'Republika Slovenija' curves along the lower portion of the ring in bold serif lettering. The design is clean and typographic, with no pictorial effigy, emphasising the denomination as the primary design element. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centre, struck in copper-nickel, depicts a schematic diagram of a quadrant — the precision measuring instrument associated with the Slovenian mathematician and artillery officer Jurij Vega — rendered with intersecting lines radiating from a central point and divided into labelled sectors bearing letters such as B, G, N, D, R, E, C, S, H, P and A, evoking a page from Vega's logarithmic tables or a geometric construction. Mathematical symbols and letters from Vega's works are distributed across the outer nickel-brass ring, framing the central design. The legend 'JURIJ VEGA' curves along the left side of the ring, while the commemorative dual dates '1754 • 2004' are prominently inscribed along the lower arc, marking the 250th anniversary of Vega's birth. |
