| Reverse description | At right, a large intaglio vignette presents a panoramic view of Isla del Tigre and the port town of Amapala, with the volcanic cone rising above the waterfront and vessels in the foreground. To the left, an elaborate guilloche panel frames the large denomination numeral '2' in a geometric lathe-work design, enclosed by fine guilloche borders at each margin.
