| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of José Matías Delgado, the founding father and national hero of El Salvador, rendered in moderate relief within a beaded border. The curved legend REPÚBLICA DE EL SALVADOR arcs around the upper periphery, while the four-digit date appears in the lower exergual area. The portrait displays naturalistic detail in the hair and collar, characteristic of the mid-20th-century engraving style employed for this series. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '25' in large, bold figures occupies the central field, with the denomination legend CENTAVOS inscribed below in smaller lettering. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath of two symmetrical laurel branches tied at the base with a decorative bow or floral ornament, all contained within a beaded border. The composition is clean and heraldic, with the wreath providing an elegant frame typical of Latin American coinage of the period. |
