| Obverse lettering | ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ Α! ΒΑΣΙΛΕΥΣ ΤΩΝ ΕΛΛΗΝΩΝ ΒΑΡΡΕ 1869 (Translation: George I King of the Greeks) |
| Reverse description | Central denomination numeral '2' above the Greek legend ΛΕΠΤΑ, all enclosed within a finely engraved wreath of olive branches tied at the base with a bow. The mintmark 'B' (for the Strasbourg Mint) appears in the lower exergue, below the wreath knot. The coin is encircled by a plain raised rim with fine dentilation. The overall composition is balanced and typical of mid-19th century Greek bronze coinage produced at French provincial mints. |
