| Obverse description | Bimetallic fantasy issue featuring a right-facing bust of Pau Claris Casademunt, the 17th-century Catalan statesman and President of the Generalitat, occupying the brass center field. The portrait is rendered in a neoclassical style with fine hair detail. The legend CATALUNYA arcs across the upper portion of the ring, while the dates 1641 and 2016 flank the portrait on left and right respectively, referencing the proclamation of the Catalan Republic. The inscription REPVBLICA appears along the lower arc of the ring in Roman lettering. |

| Reverse description | The brass center field displays the numeral 2 in large relief at center-right, accompanied by a stylized map of Europe in the left portion of the inner disc, consistent with standard euro reverse design conventions. The copper-nickel outer ring bears four inscriptions evenly spaced around the circumference: PROVA, ESSAI, PRUEBA, and TRIAL, representing the word 'trial' or 'pattern' in Catalan, French, Spanish, and English respectively, identifying this piece as a non-circulating fantasy or essay strike. |
