Obverse description	Green and cream note printed on plain paper, with an outer guilloche border of interlaced scrollwork and large stylised "R" and "F" monograms at each corner. A central oval frame encloses the main design, at the top of which sits a circular vignette of a sailing ship surrounded by the motto "OCULI OMNIUM IN TE SPERANT DOMINE" and the word "NANTES", flanked by two herons with outstretched wings amid palm fronds. The denomination "BON DE DEUX FRANCS" is set in bold letterpress below the issuer's name, with a large green "2 Fr" underprint across the centre, two manuscript signature lines, and the serial number printed in a cartouche at the foot.

Reverse description	Printed entirely in green on cream paper, the reverse carries an outer border of scrollwork with stylised "R" monograms at each corner and a double-beaded inner oval frame. Within the oval, the full redemption and guarantee text is rendered in a flowing copperplate script, stating that the bons are exchangeable in multiples of ten against Banque de France notes and that their reimbursement is guaranteed by an equal-value deposit held at the Banque de France in the name of the Chambre de Commerce de Nantes.
