| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Botswana is displayed centrally, featuring a shield bearing three interlocking cogwheels above a wavy band and a bull's head in base, supported by two rampant zebras, one to each side. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto PULA in the field. The country name BOTSWANA arcs along the upper legend, the date 1986 appears below the shield, and the word IPELEGENG is inscribed along the lower legend. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed Slaty Egret (Egretta vinaceigula) is depicted in profile, its neck extended downward in a feeding pose as it wades through shallow water amid a naturalistic wetland setting of reeds, grasses, and aquatic vegetation. The composition evokes the bird's native Okavango Delta habitat with meticulous engraving of the surrounding flora. The denomination numeral 2 and the legend PULA appear to the right in the field. |
