Obverse description At centre, a stylised tree — identified in the record as the Manx Oak — rises from a rocky base, its serpentine trunk entwined and spreading into lobed foliage with clustered fruit, rendered in high relief. The design is contained within a raised inner circle, with a ring of twelve five-pointed stars distributed evenly around the outer annulus, symbolising the European Union. The field between the inner circle and the star border is smooth and unlettered. The overall composition is vigorous and naturalistic in style.

Reverse description At centre-right, a radiant solar effigy is depicted facing directly outward, its face framed by flowing hair and an elaborate burst of long, finely engraved rays emanating in all directions, occupying the greater part of the field. To the upper left, the numeral '2' is rendered in large incuse or raised italic figures, forming the denomination. No legend or additional inscription appears on the reverse. The design evokes a classical sun-god motif and creates a dynamic, asymmetric composition across the coin's surface.
