| Obverse description | Printed entirely in red on white paper, the obverse carries a central vignette of two workers in vigorous motion — a female agricultural worker on the left and a male industrial worker on the right — rendered in a bold, expressionist letterpress style evoking Soviet-era propaganda art. A red five-pointed star bearing the numeral '2' surmounts the vignette at centre top, flanked by the monogram 'FGy' in upper corner cartouches. The lower portion contains a framed text panel with the denomination inscription, issuer reference, validity date, a serial number, and two manuscript signatures above their respective role titles. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red on white paper and centres on a circular medallion portrait of Karl Marx in three-quarter bust, with flowing hair and full beard, set against radiating sun-ray lines that extend to the note's borders in a bold letterpress composition. The corner rosettes each contain the numeral '2', while the lateral borders carry the intertwined monogram 'FGy' within ornamental frames. A circular legend in Hungarian runs around the inner pearl border of the medallion. |
