In the central part, there is a three-line inscription: 2 MARKKAA 1866. Along the left and right edges of the coin is a wreath of oak branches, which do not touch at the top. At the base, the branches are tied with a ribbon forming a double bow. The rim of the coin is decorated with raised denticles. - Obverse
In the central part, the full coat of arms of the Grand Duchy of Finland is depicted—a double-headed eagle, its heads crowned with two crowns, and a third, larger crown above them, all connected by the ribbon of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. On the eagle's chest is a shield with the titular coat of arms of the Grand Duke of Finland, topped with a princely crown. Around the shield is the chain of the Order of St. Andrew the Apostle. In its right talon, the eagle holds a scepter, and in its left—an orb. Under the left talon is the mark of the director of the Helsingfors Mint—the letter 'S', August Frederick Soldan. Around the central image is a twisted border. Outside the border, the text: 47.24 KAPPALETTA NAULASTA SELWÄÄ HOPEATA, divided at the top by a six-petaled flower. The rim is decorated with denticles pointing towards the center.
