| Obverse description | The obverse displays the denomination numeral '2' and the initial 'S' (for Stuivers) in large, bold raised characters centrally positioned within the irregular flan. The figures are separated by a small ornamental device and are surrounded by a border of raised pellets arranged in a semicircular pattern along the upper and lower margins, lending a decorative frame to the composition typical of crude colonial hammered copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears the four-digit date '1801' struck in large raised numerals across the centre of the flan, with the characteristic Roman numeral 'I' used in post-1800 issues as noted in the catalog. The date is framed above by a wreath-like ornamental element and below by a row of raised pellets, consistent with the rough hammered production style employed for this colonial copper series issued for circulation in Java. |
