| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and salmon tones, with a central intaglio vignette of a seated allegorical female figure holding a stringed instrument, set against a harbor scene with sailing ships in the background. Large ornate guilloche numeral "2" panels flank the central vignette on both sides, with the bank title "BANCO DEL ECUADOR" across the top in bold letterpress. Serial number positions are printed "00000" in black, with the place and date "GUAYAQUIL, DICIEMBRE 1° DE 1907" below the vignette, and a red "SPECIMEN" overprint across the lower centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in green, with a complex symmetrical guilloche design forming a large central rosette pattern. The bank name "BANCO DEL ECUADOR GUAYAQUIL" appears in bold white lettering within the central medallion, flanked by large ornate numeral "2" vignettes on each side. The overall design relies entirely on intricate lathe work and engine-turned underprint patterns with no pictorial imagery. |
