| Obverse description | Central field features the numeral '2' in Eastern Arabic script above the word 'Rial' in Persian script, together forming the denomination. The date in Solar Hijri numerals appears at the bottom of the field. Flanking the central inscription on both sides is a wreath of olive branches tied at the base, rendered in low relief. A circular Arabic legend arcs around the upper periphery, reading the full royal title of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, Shahanshah of Iran. |

| Reverse description | Central device depicts the imperial emblem of Iran: a lion passant to the right, holding an upright sword in its right forepaw, with a rising sun radiating from its back — the Lion and Sun motif emblematic of the Pahlavi dynasty. The composition is framed by a symmetrical wreath of olive branches tied at the base. Below the lion, the denomination legend 'دو ريال' (Two Rials) is inscribed in Persian script across the lower field. |
