| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face is printed in reddish-brown on plain paper and divided into a symmetrical ornamental layout with guilloche borders and diamond-shaped corner numerals bearing the denomination '2'. The central text panel carries the Hungarian legend 'Két forint' in large script lettering, below which a block of text sets out the note's acceptance conditions in all Hungarian state and public treasuries, followed by a manuscript signature and the serial number. The denomination is also expressed across the top and bottom margins in four languages: German ('Zwei Gulden'), Czech ('Dva zlaty'), Greek ('Δοι φλορίντι'), and Cyrillic ('Два форінта'), reflecting the multinational character of the emission. |

This note belongs to the emigration-era issue organized by Lajos Kossuth following the failure of the 1848–49 revolution and his subsequent exile. After the Habsburgs crushed the uprising with Russian military assistance, Kossuth spent years abroad — primarily in England and later Italy — attempting to build financial and political infrastructure for a second Hungarian revolutionary campaign that never materialized. The London printing was a deliberate choice: British sympathy for the Hungarian cause ran high, and Kossuth had substantial public support there.
The issue was never redeemed. No functioning revolutionary state existed to honor it.
