| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Queen Victoria, her hair gathered and dressed with a small floral ornament, contained within a beaded inner circle. The obverse legend VICTORIA D: G: REG: arcs across the upper field and NEWFOUNDLAND across the lower field, both in block lettering between the beaded circle and the milled border. The portrait reflects the younger Jubilee-era effigy style adapted for Newfoundland coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 2 DOLLARS and the date 1870 are displayed in large block lettering at the centre of the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Flanking the central device on either side are decorative vine or scroll ornaments. The peripheral legend reads TWO HUNDRED CENTS at the top and ONE HUNDRED PENCE at the bottom, arcing between the beaded circle and the milled outer border, reflecting the hybrid dual-denomination design characteristic of this pattern issue. |
