| Obverse description | Crowned quartered arms shield of Castile and León, surmounted by a large royal crown with elaborate fleurons. The mintmark of Guatemala (G) appears to the left of the shield, with the denomination numeral '2' to the right. The design is characteristic of the macuquina (cob) coinage style, with a roughly irregular flan and bold but often partially struck central devices. The overall composition follows the standard Philipine colonial arms type issued under Felipe V. |

| Reverse description | Two crowned hemispheres set between the Pillars of Hercules, each pillar adorned with a crown at its top and bearing the 'PLUS VLTRA' scroll banner. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, with the assayer's initial and date appearing at the bottom of the field. The irregular cob flan results in portions of the legend and border typically being off-flan, as is characteristic of this hammered coinage series. |
