| Obverse description | The Icelandic coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield supported by the four Landvættir (protective spirits) of Iceland: Griðungur the bull at lower left, Gammur the eagle at upper left, Dreki the dragon at lower right, and Bergrisi the giant at upper right. The shield bears the traditional heraldic design of the Icelandic state. The composition is rendered in high relief with fine detail throughout. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '2' appears prominently in the center of the field, flanked symmetrically to the left and right by stylized sprigs of pubescent birch (Betula pubescens), the only endemic tree of Iceland. The denomination legend arcs above and below the central numeral. The overall design is clean and classically structured, consistent with mid-twentieth-century Scandinavian coinage aesthetics. |
