| Obverse description | The Holy Crown of Saint Stephen (Corona Regni Hungariae) depicted centrally in high relief, shown from a frontal perspective with its characteristic pendant ornaments (függők) hanging at the sides and the distinctive cross slightly bent atop the crown. The crown is rendered in fine detail, showing the enamel plaques and arched framework of the mediaeval relic. The date appears in the lower field below the crown. The circular legend MAGYAR KIRÁLYSÁG (Kingdom of Hungary) runs along the full periphery, separated by small dot stops. |

| Reverse description | The bold numeral '2' dominates the central field, flanked on either side by symmetrical baroque-style foliate scrollwork ornaments framing the denomination. Below the numeral, the inscription FILLÉR is incused in block capitals across the centre. The mint mark 'BP.' (Budapest) appears in the lower segment within a shallow arc, separated from the main field by a raised inner border. The overall design is clean and stark, typical of utilitarian wartime coinage. |
