| Obverse description | Central field occupied by the Bahamian coat of arms, depicting a shield bearing a sailing ship on a golden sea beneath a rising sun, flanked by a marlin and a flamingo as supporters, surmounted by a helmet and a conch shell crest. A ribbon scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto FORWARD UPWARD ONWARD TOGETHER. The circular legend COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS arcs around the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the date 1985 appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | Two West Indian flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) rendered in fine relief occupy the central field; one bird stands upright with neck elegantly curved, while the second stoops forward with its distinctive bent bill directed toward the water line, both depicted in a naturalistic wetland setting. The denomination TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the field is otherwise uncluttered, allowing the detailed feather engraving of the birds to serve as the primary artistic focus. |
