Obverse description The note is printed entirely in black letterpress on plain paper, with the denomination numeral '2' set in large Gothic script beneath a decorative header. The main text body, composed in an ornate blackletter typeface, carries the full obligation text in Swedish, naming Riksens Ständers Riksgälds Contor as issuer and specifying the date and place of issue as Stockholm. The denomination is restated in both Swedish and Finnish at the lower left, with a penalty clause printed in smaller type to the right, and two manuscript signatures appear at the lower portion of the note.

Reverse description The reverse presents the mirror impression of the obverse letterpress text, visible as a faint offset through the thin paper, with no independent design or printed elements of its own. The sheet shows significant age-related foxing, fold lines, and surface wear consistent with prolonged circulation. The denomination numeral '2' in Gothic script is faintly discernible in reverse at the upper centre.
