| Obverse description | Intaglio-style bust of Pericles at left, identified by the inscription ΠΕΡΙΚΛΗΣ below, rendered in a classical engraved vignette. The denomination ΔΡΑΧΜΑΙ ΔΥΟ is printed in large letters at centre, with a serial number and prefix letter above to the right.

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by two large circular medallions at centre, each enclosing an ancient coin-type portrait: at left a laureate male head in profile, at right a seated female figure. Between the medallions and above, the Royal Arms of Greece — a crowned shield bearing a cross — are set within an elaborate symmetrical guilloche and foliate ornamental frame. A banner at the base carries the inscription ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΟΝ ΤΗΣ ΕΛΛΑΔΟΣ. |
