| Obverse description | Plain bronzed field bearing a large, bold numeral '2' rendered in incuse outline style, centrally positioned and occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The figure is defined by a clean incised border line rather than raised relief, giving it a distinctive graphic quality characteristic of pre-decimal pattern trial pieces. No legend, effigy, or additional device is present, reflecting the experimental and utilitarian nature of this denomination study. A raised rim borders the otherwise unadorned field. |

| Reverse description | Essentially plain bronze field displaying, at centre, a small incuse rectangular cartouche containing the heraldic emblem of the Tower of London — the Royal Mint's identifying mark — depicted as a stylised castle with two flanking towers each surmounted by a cross, and a crenellated central battlemented section. The remainder of the field is entirely unadorned, with no legend or additional devices. A raised rim encloses the composition. This mint mark serves to authenticate the pattern as a Royal Mint production. |
