Descrizione del dritto	Brown note issued as a Billete Aduanero (customs duty note) under the authority of the República de Honduras, with the national coat of arms vignette at the left and a large guilloche-bordered numeral '2' at the right. The central text panel details a sliding customs duty acceptance schedule for fiscal years 1927 through 1935 and references Decreto Legislativo No. 2 of 8 October 1927, with the heading 'DOS PESOS' in bold letterpress below. Three signature lines appear at the bottom for the Contador Mayor, Ministro de Hacienda, and Director General de Rentas, with 'SPECIMEN' overprinted diagonally across the center.

Descrizione del rovescio	The reverse is printed in brown on a cream ground and is entirely composed of intricate lathe-work guilloche patterns arranged symmetrically around a central large rosette medallion, flanked by four smaller floral rosettes set within pointed oval frames. The legend 'REPÚBLICA DE HONDURAS' appears in a curved banner at the top within a fine guilloche border, and 'BILLETE ADUANERO' is similarly presented in a straight panel at the bottom. The overall design is executed in the characteristic engraved style of the American Bank Note Company, with the imprint visible at the lower center.

Commenti	Honduras's paper currency in the 1920s was almost entirely dependent on foreign printing contracts, and the American Bank Note Company held that relationship for decades. This 2 Pesos note predates the 1931 monetary reform that abolished the peso and introduced the lempira — named after the 16th-century Lenca chieftain who resisted Spanish conquest — making this one of the final peso-denominated issues before the unit disappeared entirely from Honduran commerce. The series is not particularly scarce in circulated grades, but uncirculated survivors are harder to place than catalog frequency suggests.
