Reverse description		Depicts the Hungarian coat of arms, surrounded by a pearled circle and dividing the issue year and the mintmark (BP). Around the circle, the country name (Hungarian Republic) and denomination. The engraver's initials in a small pearl circle. The Hungarian coat of arms, adopted in 1919 and reaffirmed on July 3, 1990, features a vertically divided shield with a rounded base. The left field displays eight red and silver horizontal bars, symbolizing the Árpád dynasty, while the right field depicts three green hills with a golden crown on the center hill and a silver patriarchal cross emerging from it. These elements represent the Danube, Tisza, Dráva, and Száva rivers, and the Tátra, Mátra, and Fátra mountain ranges. Atop the shield rests the Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, which has been used for coronations since the 12th century. The crown's cross was tilted in the 17th century due to damage, and it has remained in this position since then, symbolizing the enduring history and legitimacy of Hungarian monarchs.

The issuing year '1991' is divided on both sides of the coat of arms, with the mint mark 'BP.' visible below it. Around the circle, the inscription reads 'MAGYAR KÖZTÁRSASÁG" (HUNGARIAN REPUBLIC) while in a small pearl circle, the monogram 'TS' of the designer and '500 FORINT' are legible. Since 1989, marking the establishment of the Third Hungarian Republic, Hungary has adopted a coat of arms reminiscent of the historical arms of the Árpád dynasty, which held sway over Hungary from the 9th to the 14th century.

In its second, red field, at the center of a green triple mound crowned with gold, there is a silver double cross. Atop the shield rests the Hungarian Holy Crown. Engraver: Sándor Tóth
