| Obverse description | Central field displays the Imperial Russian crowned double-headed eagle, each head surmounted by a separate crown beneath a larger central imperial crown, the eagle holding an orb in its left talon and a scepter in its right. The design is enclosed within a beaded or dentilated inner circle, with the Finnish-language fineness legend arcing around the full periphery of the coin. The overall composition reflects the Russian Imperial heraldic tradition adapted for Finnish coinage under the Grand Duchy. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently in the upper field, with 'MARKKAA' inscribed in bold capital letters across the center, and the four-digit date below, all contained within an open wreath of oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The wreath is rendered in fine relief with naturalistic oak leaves and acorns, and the coin's dentilated border frames the entire composition. The design is clean and symmetrical, reflecting the restrained neoclassical style characteristic of late 19th-century Scandinavian coinage. |
