| Obverse lettering | GEORGE VI KING EMPEROR |
| Reverse description | The central field displays the denomination numeral '2' surmounted by 'ANNAS' in Latin script, flanked by the date below, all set within an ornamental floral design. The denomination is rendered in four scripts — Devanagari (दो आना), Bengali (দুই আনা), Telugu (రెండు అణాలు), and Latin (2 ANNAS) — arranged around the central motif, reflecting the multilingual character of British India. The word INDIA appears in the field, and the entire design is enclosed within a dentilated square border matching the obverse. The composition of the legend in four languages underscores the coin's function across the diverse linguistic regions of the subcontinent. |
