| Obverse description | The obverse features the Portuguese Republican coat of arms at center, depicting the traditional shield with the quinas (five escutcheons arranged in a cross) and the bordure of castles, surmounted by a stylized armillary sphere. The legend REPUBLICA PORTUGUESA arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters, while the date 1934 appears in the lower field beneath the shield. The overall design is rendered in a clean, low-relief style characteristic of early twentieth-century Portuguese colonial coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a simplified version of the Portuguese shield at center, displaying the quinas escutcheons without the bordure of castles, set within a plain field. The inscription ESTADO DA INDIA is divided across the field, with ESTADO to the left and INDIA to the right of the shield in bold raised lettering. Below the shield, the denomination is expressed as a large numeral 2 followed by the word tangas in smaller characters, clearly identifying the coin's value within the rupia currency system of Portuguese India. |
