| Obverse description | Dark-green letterpress print on light-green paper, with a decorative guilloche border enclosing the entire face. The issuer's name appears in bold capital letters across the top, above a three-line promise-to-pay inscription in cursive script. The denomination 'DOS Y MEDIO CENTAVOS' is set in large bold type at centre, with 'MONEDA NACIONAL CURSO LEGAL' below; numeral counters '2 1/2' appear in white on dark guilloche panels at left and right. A serial number and series letter are printed in red at lower left, with a manuscript signature at lower right, and the printer's imprint in small type at the very foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | Uniform brown letterpress print on plain paper, entirely filled with an elaborate geometric and foliate pattern. A meander (Greek key) frieze runs along the top and bottom borders, flanked at each corner by circular rosette vignettes enclosed in square panels. Two large fan-scroll volutes occupy the left and right centre fields, while a dense acanthus-leaf composition frames the large white numeral '2 1/2' at the centre of the design. |
