Obverse description	Brown intaglio print on white paper with red serial numbers. The colonial coat of arms of British Honduras is positioned at the top centre, flanked by the denomination numeral '2' on either side. The text panel carries the promise-to-pay legend and the date and place of issue in letterpress.

Reverse description	Printed entirely in brown, the reverse is dominated by an intricate lathe-work guilloche design of interlocking rosettes and scrollwork that fills the entire field. Two oval cartouches, one at left and one at right, bear the words 'BRITISH' and 'HONDURAS' respectively, set within fine engine-turned borders.
