| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in blue-green ink with an intricate geometric guilloche pattern filling the entire field. The numeral "2" appears in large form at the left and right centres, while the word "DOS" is repeated across the top and bottom in bold lettering. Multiple circular medallions containing heraldic vignettes are interlaced within the guilloche latticework, creating a dense, symmetrical underprint design. |
