| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a rural scene of traditional Botswana industry: at left, a woman weaves a basket beside a large coiled storage vessel, while at right a man works at a grinding stone; a figure carrying a load on her head and thatched-roof structures occupy the middle ground. Decorative guilloche cornerpieces incorporate the numeral "2" at all four corners, and the printer's imprint appears at the lower center beneath the denomination legend. |
