A central vignette presents the Mexican federal eagle with wings spread, perched atop a cannon and military trophies, flanked by the denomination numeral '2' in ornate cartouches at lower left and upper right. The issuer's title 'LA TESORERIA DE LA FEDERACION' runs across the top in bold capitals, with the promise to pay 'DOS PESOS' in silver coin of Mexican mintage inscribed to the right; the serial number and series designation appear in red, and three manuscript signatures occupy the lower portion beneath their respective authority titles. |
