The banknote features the figure of Chateaubriand.

In terms of visual description, the banknote has an obverse featuring a portrait of Chateaubriand, a 19th-century French writer and politician. The background of the obverse is composed of complex ornamental motifs, typical of banknotes of that era. The face value, "500 Francs," is clearly indicated, as are the signatures of those responsible for the issue. The dominant colors of the obverse are shades of blue and green, with touches of brighter colors to enhance the details.

The reverse of the banknote repeats graphic elements present on the obverse, but in a different composition. There are decorative motifs, as well as allegorical symbols related to France. The face value is also repeated on the reverse, in a typographic style adapted to the overall aesthetic of the banknote. The colors of the reverse are similar to those of the obverse, with a predominance of blue and green. The watermark, integrated into the paper during its manufacture, is visible by transparency and strengthens the security of the banknote against counterfeiting.
