| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black on cream paper and enclosed within a fine decorative border with ornamental corner pieces and denomination numeral '2' at each corner. The Haitian national coat of arms — a palm tree flanked by cannon, cannonballs, and flags — is centered in the upper portion. Below, the title 'BON DU TRESOR' appears in bold letterpress, with 'DEUX GOURDES' beneath it. A two-line authorizing text references the decree of 22 January 1915 and the law of 22 December 1914, with two manuscript signatures below for the Delegue des Finances and the Delegue du Commerce. |
