| Obverse description | Red letterpress note with a wavy guilloche underprint across the central field, bearing the arms of Dunkerque — a shield with a lion passant over an elephant — at centre. A maritime vignette at the top of the note presents crossed anchors, a life-ring, and rigging elements flanked by spread wings, alluding to the port city's seafaring character. Large numeral denominators '2' appear in the upper corners, with two manuscript signatures below the issuer inscription and a serial number cartouche at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Red letterpress reverse with a bold decorative border of oak-leaf sprays and dotted rules. Two large circular medallions, each containing the numeral '2', are positioned symmetrically and surmounted by ship's anchors suspended from rings, connected at centre by a horizontal bar with acorn-shaped finials. A circular watermark impression is visible at centre. The issuer name is split between the top and bottom registers of the border. |
