| Obverse description | Central vignette of an elephant head rendered as a large watermark-style underprint in pale gold-ochre tones against the note's cream ground. Decorative chain-link guilloche borders frame the left and right margins, with the numeral 2 at each upper corner. Diagonal text underprint reading COTE D'IVOIRE colonie runs across the field, and signature lines for Le Gouverneur H. Deschamps and Le Trésorier-Payeur L. Geismar appear in the lower centre. The denomination DEUX FRANCS is set in bold letterpress along the lower edge. |
