| Reverse description | The reverse is engraved in a predominantly blue intaglio style, centred on a large oval portrait vignette of a bearded male figure — believed to be Christopher Columbus — set within an elaborate guilloche frame. The numeral '25' appears in large format at each corner against a rich lathe-work background, and the bank name 'BANCO CENTRAL DE RESERVA DE EL SALVADOR' is inscribed across the top. A handwritten date 'San Salvador, 21 de Septiembre de 1959' and the printer's imprint 'AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY' appear at the foot. |
