| Obverse description | Green guilloche underprint with brown border composed of interlocking geometric and floral ornaments. The centre carries the large denomination numeral '2' in dark ink at upper left and right corners, with the issuer's title 'CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE LIMOGES' in a cartouche at top, and the value legend 'DEUX FRANCS' in bold letterpress below. Two engraved architectural vignettes flank the central area — a monument with a public building to the left and the Hôtel de Ville to the right — while a decorative monogram cartouche with flanking classical ornaments appears at the bottom centre; three facsimile signature fields and a printed serial number occupy the middle of the note. |
