Banknotes
There are two series of banknotes.
The first series comprises seven different denominations: €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500.
The second series, or Europa series, consists of six denominations ( 5;10;20;50;100;200 ).
The ECB has decided to stop producing the €500 banknote, although the first series €500 remains legal tender.

500 Euro banknote
500 euros contains the name of the currency, denomination, the flag of the European Union, the signature of the President of the European Central Bank, 12 EU stars, the year of issue and special elements of banknote protection. On both sides are modern architectural elements, symbolizing the direction of the 20th century - modernism: a glazed concrete structure on the obverse and a scheme of suspension bridges on the reverse.
The bridge on the most expensive euro banknote at the present time, is an ideal example for it, most likely it is the bridge near Havre (le Havre, Pont de Normandie, 1995). "This is a very luxurious cable-stayed bridge"
But all this is only a further assumption.
