| Obverse description | Central device features a fully-rigged sailing cogge (carrack-type vessel) under sail on stylized waves, rendered in bold relief. The large numeral '2' appears to the left of the ship and '0' to the right, flanking the central design to form the denomination. The date '1921' is inscribed in large numerals along the upper arc of the field, with the digits separated by the ship's mast and rigging. The abbreviation '·M·' for Mark appears centrally in the lower portion of the field, flanked by small pellets. No encircling legend; the overall design is stark and modernist in character. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the heraldic arms of the Free City of Danzig: a crowned shield bearing two black crosses on a white field, rendered in relief on the cardboard substrate. A royal crown surmounts the shield at the top. The circular legend 'FREISTAAT▲DANZIG▲' runs around the periphery of the field, interrupted by two triangular or lozenge-shaped ornamental stops. The nickel-plated rim forms a raised border, while the central cardboard area retains a darker, unplated surface, giving the reverse a distinctly two-toned appearance characteristic of this trial strike format. |
