| 背面描述 | The reverse is divided into two guilloche-framed circular panels printed in violet, each enclosing a block of legal warning text — the left panel in violet ink on a light ground, the right panel in white text on a violet ground. The surrounding field is filled with an interlocking violet ornamental underprint incorporating repeated inscriptions DUE LIRE and the numeral 2, linking the two central elements. |

| 备注 |
Italy's unified kingdom inherited a chaotic patchwork of regional currencies, and the Ministero delle Finanze — rather than the Banca d'Italia, which wouldn't be formally established until 1893 — was still issuing small-denomination notes directly through the treasury in 1881. These 2 Lire notes were meant to plug a chronic shortage of small coinage, a problem that dogged the young state for decades. The San Teodoro workshop in Rome printed them entirely in-house, one of the few operations where design, engraving, and production stayed under direct government control rather than going to a private contractor.
