| Obverse description | The obverse is engraved in a dark olive-brown palette with ornate guilloche borders and corner numerals '2'. At left, an intaglio portrait vignette of Emperor Dom Pedro II faces three-quarters right within a ruled frame, with the imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' beneath. The upper field carries the bold legends 'IMPERIO' at left and 'DO BRAZIL' at centre, with 'DOIS 2 DOIS' at upper right, while the central text panel reads 'No Thesouro Nacional se pagará ao portador desta a quantia de DOIS MIL REIS', with stamped series and estampa numbers. At lower right, a second vignette presents a finely engraved view of a church or public building with towers. |
