| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and orange-red, with the bank title 'EL BANCO CONSOLIDADO DE CHILE' arched across the top in bold letterpress. Two intaglio allegorical vignettes flank a central guilloche medallion bearing the numeral '2': at left, a female figure in classical dress with laurel wreath, and at right, a helmeted figure in the manner of Mercury or a Roman warrior. A central text panel reads 'GARANTIDO POR BONOS DEL GOBIERNO DE CHILE Y DE LA CAJA DE CREDITO HIPOTECARIO DEPOSITADOS EN ARCAS FISCALES'. The denomination 'DOS PESOS' and place and date of issue 'Valparaiso, Enero 3 de 1877' appear in the lower register, with the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. New York' at the bottom margin. |
