| Obverse description | Central field features a trident (trishul) flanked by a crescent moon to the left and a sun symbol to the right, all rendered in low relief. The word 'Nepal' in Devanagari script appears below the trident, with the Bikram Sambat year '2021' beneath it. A circular Devanagari legend reading the royal titulature of King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev surrounds the design along the rim. The overall composition is characteristic of the Nepalese coinage of the early Bikram Sambat 2020s, combining Hindu royal and religious symbolism. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the large numeral '2' in Devanagari style, serving as the principal denomination indicator. The legend 'Shri Bhavani' in Devanagari script appears above the numeral, invoking the goddess Bhavani, a form of Parvati venerated in Nepal. The words 'Dui Paisa' (two paisa) appear below the numeral, confirming the face value. A decorative border of stylised geometric or floral motifs encircles the entire design, consistent with Nepalese minting conventions of the period. |
