| Obverse description | Printed in blue on cream paper, the obverse is framed by a fine decorative border with corner rosettes. Two allegorical female figures in classical robes are seated at either side of the central field — the left figure holds a caduceus and rests beside an amphora, the right figure gestures outward — flanking the large denomination inscription DEUX FRANCS in bold letterpress. The upper portion carries the municipal arms of Périgueux and Dordogne on crossed heraldic shields beneath a crown, with the issuer's name arching across the top; a serial number appears above the denomination, and two manuscript signatures over printed titles LE PRÉSIDENT and LE TRÉSORIER are set above the date cartouche at the base, with the engraver's credit PIGEON gr. noted at lower left. |

| Reverse description | Printed in blue on cream paper, the reverse centres on a detailed intaglio panoramic vignette of the city of Périgueux with its distinctive Romanesque-Byzantine cathedral of Saint-Front and medieval rooftops rendered along the riverbank. Flanking the vignette are two circular medallions each bearing the numeral 2. The upper portion carries the issuer's title CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE DE PÉRIGUEUX in a curved banner, and the four arrondissement names PÉRIGUEUX, NONTRON, RIBERAC and SARLAT appear at the upper corners; the central text block sets out the guarantee and redemption conditions in capital letterpress. |
