Bermuda's $2 note stands out for its vibrant turquoise color and its strong connection to the island's natural and cultural heritage.
Front Design: The central image is the Bermuda Bluebird (Sialia sialis), a bird species native to Bermuda and considered a symbol of happiness and good fortune. The Bluebird is depicted perched on a branch, framed by images of Bermuda’s flora. The intricate details of the design include watermarks for security and patterns inspired by the island's natural surroundings.
Back Design: The reverse side illustrates the Royal Naval Dockyard, an important historical and cultural site in Bermuda. Adjacent to this is an artistic rendering of King Neptune, a classical symbol of the sea. The combination of these images reflects Bermuda’s maritime history, its colonial past, and its enduring relationship with the ocean.
This note beautifully integrates the elements of nature and history that define Bermuda.
