The reverse is equally impressive, with intricate scrollwork and a bold display of the denomination “2,” reflecting the era’s dedication to ornate, detailed design. Notes of this type and grade are rarely encountered, making this a prized acquisition for collectors who appreciate both historical importance and artistic excellence. A true standout in any advanced currency collection.
