| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark olive-green intaglio on a light guilloche underprint. At centre, a full-length vignette of a traditionally dressed Mexican woman stands before a large circular Aztec Sun Stone (Calendar Stone), rendered in fine engraved detail. To the left, a rosette medallion carries the numeral '2' over the word 'PESOS'. The bank title 'BANCO DE MEXICO' runs in bold Gothic lettering across the top, with the denomination panel 'PAGARA DOS PESOS / A LA VISTA AL PORTADOR EN EFECTIVO' to the right. Ornate corner flourishes and a dense geometric lace border frame the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown intaglio with a rich guilloche surround. A central vignette presents a detailed engraving of the Angel of Independence column (Columna de la Independencia) in Mexico City, complete with its sculptural base. Two symmetrical panels at left and right each contain an eight-petalled rosette medallion on a radiating lathe-work ground. The denomination '2 PESOS' appears in ornamental cartouches at both lower corners, and the issuer inscription 'BANCO DE MEXICO' is divided across the upper portion flanking the central vignette. |
