| Obverse description | The note is enclosed within an ornate letterpress-printed border of floral and foliate vignettes on all four sides. At the top centre, an engraved vignette bears the coat of arms of the Estado de Honduras — a radiant sun above a triangle containing an eye, flanked by trees and mountains — encircled by the legend ESTADO DE HONDURAS, with a large black wax seal applied over the lower portion of the arms. Below, a bold letterpress panel reads VALE DOS PESOS, accompanied by the manuscript decree reference "Por el decreto de 19 de Julio de 1862" and the place of issue "Madrid", with three manuscript signature lines above the printed designations of El Contador mayor, El Mtre. de hacienda, and El Tesorero gral. |
