The denomination numeral '2' appears at all four corners within a continuously patterned guilloche border of interlocking arcs. The overall design is stark and unadorned, with the architectural vignette occupying the majority of the face. |

Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos issued small-denomination emergency paper during Portugal's acute coin shortage of 1917–1920, when the First World War disrupted metal supplies and centavo coins effectively vanished from everyday commerce. Hundreds of Portuguese municipalities, parishes, and commercial associations resorted to printing their own cédulas — local emergency scrip — to fill the gap left by Lisbon's inability to supply fractional coinage in sufficient quantity.
Matosinhos, a fishing port north of Porto, was among the smaller municipalities to issue. The 2 centavo value is the most modest denomination in the series, which tells you something about just how completely small change had dried up.
