| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by a geometric border of repeating diamond and cross motifs in a typeset letterpress style. The central text, in varying typeface sizes, reads 'SIEGE DE LYON' at the top, followed by the date '1793, l'an 2 de la République Française', the designation 'SUBVENTION CIVIQUE', and the value 'Bon pour VINGT LIVRES', with an exchange clause beneath stating the note is redeemable against Assignats in lots of 400 livres. A handwritten serial number appears in the upper left, and two manuscript signatures are present in the lower portion of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse shows a faint mirror impression of the obverse text visible through the thin paper, indicating the note was printed on a single side only. A central vignette of what appears to be a cannon with foliage is faintly discernible, along with a handwritten signature in the lower right area, consistent with a countersignature applied to the back of the note. |
