| Reverse description | The large Western numeral '2' dominates the central field, flanked on either side by a decorative wreath of stylized floral and foliate branches. The Arabic legend 'دو پيسه' (Do Paise) arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the Bengali equivalent 'পয়সা' appears at the base, with the Eastern Arabic numeral '২' at lower left. The overall design is clean and utilitarian, with bold raised lettering and a plain edge. |

Pakistan's shift to aluminium for this denomination in 1966 was driven by the rising cost of bronze — the metal that had served the paisa series since independence. The round format itself was short-lived; Pakistan moved to a scalloped edge on the 2 paisa within a few years, making this three-year type a brief transitional issue rather than a settled design decision.
