The central field carries the Hungarian title 'Két forint' in ornate script lettering above a text block naming the Magyar Kereskedelmi Bank as guarantor of silver redemption. Three manuscript signatures appear below the text, accompanied by their respective titles, with a handsome engraved coat-of-arms vignette at lower centre and a serial number prefix at lower left. |
