| Obverse description | Central field bears the Persian inscription 'Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi' in elegant Nastaliq script above the large Arabic numeral '۲' (2), with the denomination legend 'ریال' (Rials) below. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied at the base, with a small imperial crown or ornament at the apex. The overall design is clean and symmetrical, reflecting the formal coinage style of the early Pahlavi era. |

| Reverse description | The traditional Imperial Iranian arms occupy the central field: a lion passant guardant to the right, holding an upright sabre in its right forepaw, set against a radiant rising sun whose rays fan outward from behind the lion's back. The Pahlavi crown is displayed prominently above the ensemble. Below the lion, a horizontal ground line separates the central device from the Arabic legend 'دو ریال' (Two Rials) in the lower field. The whole is framed by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied at the base. |
