| Obverse description | Small-format notgeld note printed in black on white paper, enclosed within a decorative border of fine interlocking geometric guilloche ornament. The central vignette presents a large bold numeral '2' within an octagonal frame, flanked on either side by vignettes of the Bethel institution buildings set among trees. The issuer inscription and denomination legend are arranged in two lines above and below the central vignette respectively, with the value numeral '2' repeated in each corner. |

| Reverse description | Plain unprinted reverse showing the light impression of the obverse design bleeding through the thin paper stock, with the decorative guilloche border faintly visible as a ghost image. The surface is white and largely unadorned, consistent with the simple utilitarian production typical of small-denomination emergency currency of the Notgeld period. |
