| Reverse description | The denomination and date are displayed within a central circle, with the numeral '2' and the word 'SOUS' prominently positioned alongside the mint year and mint mark. Surrounding this inner circle, the legend identifying the issuing colonial authority runs along the periphery, enclosed between the inner circle and an outer beaded border (grènetis). The layout is plain and functional, consistent with the utilitarian character of French colonial billon coinage of the late 18th century. |
