| Obverse description | At center, the Lion Capital of Ashoka, the national emblem of India, depicted in high relief with three lions visible atop an abacus bearing the Dharma Chakra (wheel) flanked by a bull and horse in low relief. Immediately below the capital, the Devanagari inscription 'सत्यमेव जयते' (Satyameva Jayate, meaning 'Truth Alone Triumphs') curves across the lower central field. The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently in the lower field. Surrounding legends in Devanagari read 'भारत' and 'रूपये' to the left, with 'INDIA' and 'RUPEES' in Latin script to the right, following the contour of the eleven-sided flan. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized sculptural group of four figures representing a nuclear family: a father and mother standing at center, a young girl to the left, and a small child to the right holding a bouquet of balloons, rendered in a bold, modernist low-relief style emblematic of India's family planning campaign. The peripheral legend in Devanagari script 'छोटा परिवार खुशियाँ अपार' arcs across the upper portion of the field. In the lower periphery, the bilingual motto 'SMALL FAMILY HAPPY FAMILY' in Latin script follows the contour of the flan. The date '1993' is inscribed in the lower central field beneath the family group, with a mint mark dot below. |
