| Reverse description | Printed in a warm brown-ochre tint, the reverse centres on a large pastoral vignette with Andean figures, llamas, and livestock in a rural landscape, rendered in fine intaglio engraving. The bank title 'BANCO LA PROVIDENCIA' arches across the upper portion in bold letters, flanked by large guilloche rosettes bearing the numeral '2' on each side. The entire composition is framed by an intricate lace-pattern border of repetitive guilloche work. |
