| Reverse description | Central device depicts a forward-facing zebu (Malagasy humped cattle) head with prominent long curved horns, rendered in bold relief, flanked symmetrically by sprays of rice and coffee branches representing the island's principal agricultural products. The denomination 2 FRANCS VENTY SY KIROBO is inscribed in the upper field within the arc of the horns. The word ESSAI appears in the lower field beneath the zebu's chin, identifying this piece as a pattern strike. Two small privy marks are visible in the upper left and upper right fields. |
