Reverse description	The reverse is dominated by a continuous dark green guilloche pattern interlinking two encircled panels of legal text — the left panel in dark green and the right panel reserved in white — with the repeated denomination Due Lire and numeral 2 set within the connecting decorative framework in white reserve.
Reverse lettering	La legge punisce i fabbricatori di biglietti falsi, chi li introduce e li usa nel Regno e chi, avendoli ricevuti per veri, li rimette in circolazione dopo conosciutane la falsità. (Translation: The law punishes the makers of counterfeit banknotes, those who introduce and use them in the Kingdom and those who, having received them as genuine, put them back into circulation after having discovered their falsity.)
