| Obverse description | Central field features the Dutch crowned lion rampant facing left, displayed within a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by a large royal crown. The denomination is indicated by the fraction '1/2' to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'ST.' to the right, both rendered in bold relief. The overall design is bold and unadorned, occupying the full face of the coin without a surrounding legend, in the austere colonial copper coinage style typical of the Netherlands East Indies issues under Willem I. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a straightforward two-line geographic inscription 'NEDERL. INDIE' in large, bold raised letters filling the upper portion of the field, with the four-digit date '1825' centered below and the mintmark 'S' (for the Utrecht sword privy mark) positioned in the lower exergual area. A small five-pointed star appears at the top of the field above the legend, serving as an additional decorative element. The design is deliberately plain and legible, consistent with the utilitarian character of copper colonial coinage intended for wide circulation in the Dutch East Indies. |
