| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Marianne, the allegorical personification of the French Republic, rendered in a flowing, expressive style by engraver Raymond Joly. Her hair is swept back with loose strands falling behind the neck, conveying movement and a naturalistic aesthetic. The circular legend RÉPVBLIQVE FRANÇAISE arcs around the periphery, with the date 1970 positioned along the lower rim flanked by two dots. The engraver's signature R. JOLY appears in small incuse letters to the right of the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Central design featuring a stylised bird — likely a dove or local avian motif — depicted in profile facing right, rendered in a bold, simplified artistic style characteristic of mid-twentieth-century French colonial coinage. The denomination numeral 2 appears prominently below the bird in the center of the field. The circular legend NOUVELLES - HÉBRIDES arcs around the upper periphery, while the word FRANCS is inscribed along the lower rim flanked by decorative dots. |
