| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Uruguay is depicted centrally within a raised inner circle, featuring a quartered shield surmounted by a radiant rising sun. The shield's quarters display a balance scale, an ox, a fortified hill, and a horse, all framed by olive and laurel branches tied at the base. The circular legend REPUBLICA ORIENTAL DEL URUGUAY runs along the upper periphery, while the four-digit mint year appears in the exergue below, separated from the inner field by a raised line border. |

| Reverse description | A capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris), locally known as carpincho, is depicted in left-facing profile with naturalistic detail, occupying the central field. The denomination $2 appears to the left of the animal in bold numerals, while the species' common name CARPINCHO is inscribed along the lower portion of the field beneath the figure. The overall design is plain and unadorned, emphasizing the wildlife subject against a flat background. |
