| Reverse description | The reverse carries a central intaglio vignette of a traditional Vanuatu naghol (land-diving) ceremony scene, with figures in customary dress gathered before a large red-and-white geometrically decorated nakamal (men's house) and a tall slit drum, rendered in blue-grey tones against the lavender polymer substrate. A transparent oval window at right repeats the shell motif seen on the obverse, while a yellow map of the archipelago and decorative tribal-pattern borders appear at left. The denomination numeral "500" and the word "VATU" are printed in red at upper right, and the legend "RESERVE BANK BLONG VANUATU" runs along the lower margin in dark ink. |
