| Reverse description | Central design features a large square enclosing a rotated diamond (lozenge) bearing the numeral '2' above the denomination 'Annas' in Latin script. Below the lozenge, a zebu stands in profile facing left within the lower portion of the square. Multilingual inscriptions surrounding the central square render the denomination in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Devanagari scripts. The mint mark 'P' appears at the top center above the square, and the circular legend COMPTOIR DE PONDICHÉRY runs along the lower periphery. |
