| Obverse description | Printed in green and red with a yellow underprint, the obverse bears an oval vignette at left enclosing a bust portrait of Gjergj Kastrioti (Skanderbeg) facing right, his name inscribed along the lower arc of the oval. The denomination appears centrally in both numeral and Albanian word form, the figure "2" set within a green circular guilloche cartouche, with the issuer's name in bold letterpress at the head of the note and a decorative border frame enclosing the full composition. Two manuscript signatures are positioned above the serial number. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and red, centred on a large guilloche rosette executed in intricate lathe-work, set over a red geometric border frame repeating along all four margins. The numeral "2" appears in each corner in red, with the Albanian word form restating the denomination; the security interest of the design derives principally from the complexity of the guilloche underprint. |
