| Reverse description | The reverse is framed by a decorative typographic border and presents the denomination bilingually: 'Zwei Gulden – Dwa Zlati' at the top and 'Két forint ezüst pénz' in large Hungarian script at centre, with a circular '2' numeral vignette. The main text reads 'Utalvány Magyar Ország közjövedeleméire.' in bold letterpress, followed by a Hungarian-language body text confirming acceptance at all royal cashier offices throughout Hungary. The note bears the place and date 'Budán 1.
