The commemorative dates 1855 and 1955 flank the seal in bold red numerals, with the words SOUVENIR and CURRENCY printed in large red letters to either side. Denomination panels bearing the numeral 25 appear at upper left and upper right within ornamental cartouches, and a guilloche border frames the entire design, with tree vignettes at the lower corners. |
