| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed frontal view of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, rendered in fine relief with its characteristic four minarets, three principal domes, and ornate façade. Radiating lines in the lower field beneath the mosque suggest sunlight or prominence. The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently at the lower right of the field, with the Urdu inscription 'روپے' (Rupees) to its left. The design is contained within a milled border consistent with the obverse. |

| Additional information |
Pakistan's shift to aluminium-bronze for this denomination came as part of a broader coinage reform driven by the rising cost of the nickel-clad steel it replaced — a recurring pressure across South Asian mints in the early 2000s. The State Bank extended the series run well past its originally intended window, partly because repeated proposals to demonetize the 2-rupee coin in favor of note substitutes stalled in committee throughout the 2010s.
KM#68 saw multiple die variations across its production run at the Pakistan Mint in Lahore, though none have been formally catalogued with premium attribution.
