| Obverse description | The obverse is struck on a natural wood disc and displays the denomination numeral '2' in large green-inked characters at center, with the currency name 'MINIM' inscribed in green along the lower field. Background decorative patterning in a lighter green tone fills the field around the central value. The design is printed or stamped directly onto the wood substrate, giving the piece a distinctive folk-art aesthetic consistent with fantasy token issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse, struck on the natural wood substrate, features horizontal bands of green-stamped decoration spanning the full width of the disc. The island name 'GAFERUT' is prominently inscribed in green capital Latin letters across the central band, flanked by small ornamental devices on either side. Additional horizontal decorative bands appear above and below the legend, creating a banded compositional layout. The wood grain remains visible through the stamped ink, characteristic of this fantasy wooden token series. |

| Additional information |
The 2007 Micronesian wooden coinage series was produced as a novelty issue with no circulation mandate — these pieces were sold directly to collectors and never entered everyday commerce. Wood is among the most mechanically unstable materials ever used in a modern numismatic issue, making long-term preservation genuinely unpredictable in a tropical climate.
