| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in red on white paper, the obverse carries a central vignette of a sailing ship moored in a harbor at left, with a palm tree and additional sailing vessel visible in the background at right. The design is framed by intricate guilloche borders typical of De La Rue intaglio work. The issuing authority's promise-to-pay legend and place and date of issue are inscribed across the face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed entirely in red, the reverse is dominated by a central landscape vignette framed by an ornate guilloche border, showing a tropical scene with several tall palm trees beside a calm body of water, with distant hills in the background. The colonial coat of arms appears at the top center above the vignette frame. Large numeral 2s flank the design on both sides within elaborate lathe-work panels, with the denomination legend at the foot of the central panel. |

Trinidad and Tobago's Government Currency Notes of the late colonial period were issued under the Currency Note Ordinance, with the Crown Colony administration rather than any central bank holding the authority to emit paper. This 1929 issue predates the establishment of a regional central bank by three decades — the Eastern Caribbean Currency Authority wouldn't arrive until 1965.
De La Rue produced the series to a high intaglio standard, as was their norm for British colonial commissions of the period. Surviving examples frequently show foxing along the margins, a known vulnerability of paper stored in Trinidad's humid climate.
