| Obverse description | The Jamaican coat of arms occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield charged with five pineapples on a cross, supported on the dexter side by a Taino woman holding a basket of fruit and on the sinister side by a Taino man bearing a spear, both figures in traditional dress. A crocodile passant surmounts the helm and mantling above the shield. A scroll beneath the supporters bears the national motto in the legend OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE. The country name JAMAICA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS curves along the lower periphery in bold raised lettering. |

| Additional information |
Jamaica's Black-billed Parrot (Amazona agilis) is endemic to the island and by 1995 was already under serious pressure from habitat loss in the Cockpit Country and Blue Mountains. This coin was issued as part of a broader Caribbean wildlife conservation series that gained traction through the 1990s, with several island central banks coordinating commemorative programs to draw international attention to endemic species facing genuine extinction risk.
