The centre vignette shows the Mexican eagle emblem, flanked by the text 'REPUBLICA MEXICANA' in large letters across the top and 'DIVISION DEL BRAVO / CUARTEL GENERAL' above the eagle. The promise-to-pay text, date, and denomination 'Dos Pesos' appear across the lower half, with three manuscript signature lines attributed to El Jefe de Hacienda, El General en Jefe, and El Gobernador del Estado.
