| Obverse description | Blue-grey and brown bicolour note with the city name STAD BRUGGE and date 1914 across the top, flanked by an ornate guilloche border. To the left, a vignette of the Bruges civic bear with the heraldic lion of Flanders below; to the right, the circular city seal legend RVM : BRVGENSIVM runs along the margin. The central panel carries a brown underprint vignette of a Bruges canal scene with medieval architecture, over which the denomination 2 GOED VOOR TWEE FRANK 2 and the redemption clause BETAALBAAR TER STADSKAS DEN 15 JANUARI 1915 are letterpress-printed, with two manuscript signatures above a serial number at the foot. |
