| Reverse description | A large numeral '2' dominates the central field, with a naturalistic oak leaf and twig rendered in high relief overlapping the upper right portion of the numeral, its lobed contours and stem extending toward the upper rim. The denomination legend GROSZE is inscribed in capital letters along the lower portion of the field, separated from the rim by a shallow border. The overall design is clean and uncluttered, with the botanical motif providing a distinctive decorative counterpoint to the bold numeral. |

| Additional information |
Poland switched its low-denomination coins to steel cores with brass plating starting in 2013, a cost-cutting measure driven by the sustained rise in zinc and copper prices that had made the previous brass blanks increasingly expensive to strike. The magnetic composition immediately distinguishes these from the earlier non-magnetic issues, a detail that matters when attributing mixed-date lots.
