| Obverse description | Central device depicts a steam-assisted sailing vessel underway on choppy waters, with a second sailing ship visible in the background to the right. A large fouled anchor is prominently displayed to the right of the main vessel, its rope wound around the shank. Cargo bales and dock elements appear in the lower foreground, evoking a river trading port scene. The legend HAUT-SÉNÉGAL.NIGER arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the engraver's signature J.BORY appears in the lower left field and the date 1920 is inscribed at the base. |

| Reverse description | The large denomination numeral 25 with a superscript 'c' occupies the central field in bold raised figures, serving as the dominant design element. The legend CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE arcs along the upper periphery, and KAYES is inscribed along the lower arc, both separated from the central field by a continuous beaded inner border. The entire design is framed by an outer beaded circle running along the rim, giving the reverse a clean, utilitarian appearance characteristic of French colonial emergency coinage. |
