| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark blue intaglio over a salmon-pink guilloche underprint, with the issuer's arc inscription 'NARODOWY BANK POLSKI' running along the upper border beneath a central shield bearing the Polish White Eagle. The large numeral '500' occupies the centre of the note, below which the denomination legend 'PIĘĆSET ZŁOTYCH' is set in bold letterpress; serial numbers appear in red at upper left and upper right. A lower cartouche encloses the legal tender and anti-counterfeiting clauses along with the date '1944', all framed by elaborate acanthus scrollwork and fine lace-pattern guilloche borders. |
