| Obverse description | The denomination numeral '25' dominates the central field in large raised characters, with the word 'COLONES' inscribed below in a bold serif legend. A circular inner ring frames the central design, flanked by small decorative dots and rectangular ornaments at the lower left and right. The legend 'REPÚBLICA DE COSTA RICA' curves along the outer border, while the secondary inscription 'BANCO CENTRAL DE COSTA RICA' appears in a smaller legend just within the inner ring at the upper portion of the field. The overall design is rendered in a polished nickel brass finish with a dark-toned field providing strong contrast to the raised lettering. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a colourized depiction of the Puntarenas lighthouse (El Faro) set against a rendered coastal seascape with the ocean in the background. The legend 'PROVINCIA DE PUNTARENAS' curves along the upper border, while 'EL FARO' appears as a secondary inscription below the central design. The date '2023' is placed to the right of the lighthouse motif. The applied colour treatment distinguishes this commemorative issue from standard circulation coinage, highlighting the architectural and maritime character of the Puntarenas Province. |
