The national coat of arms of El Salvador is centrally displayed, featuring a triangle enclosing a volcanic landscape beneath a radiant sun, flanked by five national flags and framed by two laurel branches tied at the base. A ribbon below the triangle bears the motto 'DIOS UNION LIBERTAD'. A circular legend surrounds the design reading 'XVIII REUNION ANUAL DE ASAMBLEA DE GOBERNADORES DEL BID REPUBLICA DE EL SALVADOR EN LA AMERICA CENTRAL', referencing the 18th Annual Governors' Assembly of the Inter-American Development Bank. The denomination '25 COLONES' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by a small star on each side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. |

The central design reproduces the coinage type of the Central American Federation, featuring a classical female figure seated and facing left within a wreath, representing Central America. A circular legend surrounds the central motif, with the date 1824 referencing the founding of the Federation and the commemorative date 1977 appearing at the lower periphery. Additional inscriptions reference the first coinage of the Central American Federation. The design evokes the historical numismatic heritage of the region within a plain border. |

Struck to commemorate the Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Inter-American Development Bank, held in El Salvador in 1977. The IADB had been founded in 1959 as the first regional multilateral development bank in the world, and member nations routinely issued commemorative coinage to mark hosting the governors' meeting — a practice that produced a wave of nearly identical circumstances across Latin American mints during the 1970s.
El Salvador contracted the striking to the Casa de Moneda de México. Mintage was low and distribution largely ceremonial.
