| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face of this historically significant early Venezuelan note carries two circular vignettes: at left, a radiant sun design with the circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS DE VENEZUELA · 1811 ·, and at right, an oval seal bearing a sailing ship and the legend FALSIFICADOR · PENA DE MUERTE · AL. The denomination DOS PESOS is printed in manuscript-style lettering at centre. Three handwritten signatures appear below the vignettes, with the upper margin bearing the legend Hipotecado sobre las Rentas Nacionales de la Confederacion and the lower margin citing the authorizing decree Ley del 27 de Agosto de 1811. Año I. de la Independencia. |

| Opmerkingen |
Venezuela's 1811 emission was among the earliest paper currency issued by any newly independent republic in South America. The Confederación Venezolana — the short-lived federal body formed after the Declaration of Independence on 5 July 1811 — authorized these notes to fund a government that would survive less than a year before the First Republic collapsed under royalist military pressure and a catastrophic earthquake in March 1812.
Printed domestically rather than by an established European security printer, the notes reflect both the urgency and the limited technical infrastructure of the moment. Quality control was inconsistent across the series, and surviving examples frequently show irregular ink distribution and hand-completed fields.
Pick lists only a handful of denominations for this issuer, and the 2 Pesos is among the rarer of them in any condition.
