| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, modernist composition centred on the large numeral '2' in the middle of the field, with the legend 'INDIA' arcing across the upper portion and 'ANNAS' positioned below the numeral. Flanking the central Urdu denomination inscription 'دو آن' are two stylised lotus flowers in low relief, one to the left and one to the right, serving as decorative dividers. The date '1942' appears in the lower exergual area in large Roman numerals. The design exhibits the clean, utilitarian graphic style associated with wartime British Indian coinage pattern proposals. |
