| Obverse description | Two crossed flags of the Republic of China — the Five-Striped Flag and the Kuomintang party flag bearing a white sun — displayed on staffs joined at centre, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Small rosette ornaments appear in the left and right fields flanking the flags. The six-character Chinese legend reads along the upper rim, with additional characters continuing down each side, together forming the date inscription 'Year 21 of the Republic of China'. The overall design is rendered in a flat, engraved style typical of provincial Chinese coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Central field carries four large Chinese characters arranged in a two-by-two grid, reading right to left and top to bottom, denoting the denomination '2 Jiao silver coin.' These are surrounded by additional Chinese characters forming a circular legend that identifies the issuing province and specifies the weight standard in traditional units. The entire design is set within a plain linear border with the legend occupying the full periphery of the reverse field, in the formal style characteristic of Yunnan provincial silver coinage. |
