| Obverse description | The Polish state eagle — a crowned, spread-winged white eagle with talons displayed, rendered in high relief — occupies the central field. The legend RZECZPOSPOLITA POLSKA curves along the upper periphery, while the date 2013 is positioned on either side of the eagle's body at mid-field. The denomination numeral 2 appears prominently in the lower central field, flanked by the abbreviated currency designation ZŁ to each side. Small decorative dots punctuate the inner rim between the inscriptions. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a patriotic scene commemorating the 150th anniversary of the January Uprising of 1863. A standing female figure, rendered in period dress, places a traditional Polish four-cornered cap (rogatywka) upon the head of a kneeling insurgent, symbolizing the arming and blessing of fighters. In the background to the right, a standard-bearer raises a flag amid a group of figures, evoking the mobilization of the uprising. The composition fills the entire field in a pictorial, relief style reminiscent of 19th-century historical illustration. The legend 150. ROCZNICA POWSTANIA STYCZNIOWEGO curves along the upper periphery. |
