A black seal to the left of the portrait bears the name and corresponding letter of the distributing Federal Reserve Bank.

A green seal to the right of the portrait represents the U.S. Department of the Treasury.&nbsp; The design of the seal was changed to incorporate an English inscription and appears on all Federal Reserve notes of the 1969 series year or later.

The $2 note features a portrait of Thomas Jefferson on the front of the note and a vignette depicting the signing of the Declaration of Independence on the back of the note.

A combination of eleven numbers and letters appears twice on the front of the note.&nbsp;
