| Obverse description | The crowned royal cypher of King Christian IX of Denmark, composed of the interlaced initials C and IX beneath a heraldic crown, occupies the central field. The four-digit date appears below the monogram to the left, while the mint master's initials and the Copenhagen mint mark — a heart — are positioned to the right of the monogram. The design is rendered in a clean, neoclassical style with the monogram as the sole figurative element against a plain field. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '2' is prominently displayed in the upper central field in a decorative serif style, with the inscription 'ØRE' below it in bold capital letters. Flanking the denomination on the left is a leaping porpoise curving from the lower field upward, rendered in fine naturalistic detail, while a drooping stalk of barley extends diagonally from the upper right to the lower right. Together, the porpoise and barley ear form a symmetrical compositional frame around the denomination. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's rim. |
