Profile bust, after Houdon, of George Washington, looking to the left. The surroundings of the medallion are the same as in the 1-cent stamp, with the necessary change of figures and letters representing the denomination. Color, carmine. This is the improved quality of color for the 2-cent stamp, which was previously lake color and issued on Feb. 22, 1890.
