| Beschrijving keerzijde | A large stylized lotus flower rendered in low relief occupies the entire field, its petals radiating outward to the beaded border. Within each petal segment a Devanagari character is inscribed, forming a continuous religious legend around the central medallion. The central medallion contains a vertical Sri Yantra-like symbol surrounded by a ring of pellets, within a circular inner border. The composition is symmetrical and geometrically precise, reflecting the traditional Nepalese tantric artistic convention employed on gold mohars of the Shah dynasty. |

The 2 Tola denomination was a distinctly South Asian weight-based unit — one tola equaling the weight of a silver rupee, roughly 11.66 grams — which Nepal retained in its gold coinage long after most regional powers had rationalized toward metric or British imperial standards. Prithvi Bir Bikram Shah died in 1911, the same year this piece was struck, making it a terminal-year issue of his reign. He had ruled since 1881 under effective Rana oligarchy control, with Prime Minister Chandra Shumsher holding actual administrative authority.
