Abstract. Let $\th\in H^\i $ be an inner function with two spectral points on the unit circle $\T $, and let us consider the numerical range $W(S(\th ))$ of the truncated shift $S(\th )$. The question, whether the shape of $W(S(\th ))$ determines $\th $, is studied. Several conditions are given, when this is true, reducing the problem to a particular case.
