| Reverse description | At center, a Sudarshana chakram — the spinning discus weapon of the Hindu deity Vishnu — is depicted in a stylized, radially symmetrical form. In the upper field, the numeral '2' appears rendered in both Malayalam script (൨) and Western Arabic numerals (2), flanking the chakram. Below the central device, the denomination is inscribed in Malayalam script (ചക്രം), reading 'Chuckram.' The full design is contained within a beaded border circle consistent with the obverse treatment, and the coin is also known in Malayalam as the Eratta Chakram or Double Chakram. |
