| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Icelandic coat of arms — a quartered shield featuring the traditional supporters — surmounted by a royal crown, with the crowned royal cypher of King Christian X of Denmark (C X R) positioned prominently within the design. The date appears in the field, with the royal monogram indicating the reigning sovereign. The overall composition is rendered in a formal heraldic style consistent with Danish colonial coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents the large numeral '2' prominently at the center of the field, flanked symmetrically on either side by decorative foliate or floral ornaments. The country name 'ÍSLAND' arcs along the upper periphery and the denomination 'KRÓNUR' curves along the lower periphery, both legends separated from the central device by a beaded inner border that follows the coin's circumference. The design is clean and boldly rendered, emphasizing legibility and geometric balance. |
