| Obverse description | Portrait of President Sékou Touré in three-quarter left profile at left, rendered in fine intaglio engraving against an orange guilloche underprint. The denomination numeral "2" appears at upper left and lower right within ornate side panels. A central green guilloche rosette carries the denomination legend, with two facsimile signatures below for the Ministre des Finances and the Gouverneur Banque Centrale, and the date "le 1er MARS 1960" beneath the denomination text. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central diamond-shaped guilloche vignette in orange and dark blue, bearing the denomination inscription in serif lettering, flanked symmetrically on each side by smaller matching diamond panels each containing the numeral "2". The overall composition is built from elaborate engine-turned lathe work with scalloped rosette borders, creating a dense geometric pattern across the entire field. |
