Obverse description The inner core features an abstract, dynamic design incorporating mathematical symbols, numerals, and integral signs arranged along concentric circular paths, evoking planetary orbits and celestial motion — a visual allusion to the twin fields of mathematics and astronomy in which Josip Plemelj excelled. The legend JOSIP PLEMELJ 1873 appears integrated within the design of the inner core, referencing the mathematician's birth year, while the issuing country name SLOVENIJA and the year of issue 2023 are also inscribed within the field. The composition references elements of the Riemann–Hilbert problem, which Plemelj was the first to solve. The outer ring carries the twelve stars of the European Union flag.

Reverse description The standard European Union reverse design for the 2 Euro denomination, as designed by Luc Luycx, depicts a geographical map of Western Europe spanning both the inner core and the outer ring on the right side of the coin. The bold numeral 2 is situated in the open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean, with the inscription EURO completing the denomination legend superimposed across the map. Six vertical lines traverse the inner core, linking the upper and lower groups of six stars positioned on the outer ring, for a total of twelve stars referencing the EU flag. The mint mark and the engraver's initials LL appear in the field.
