| Obverse description | The obverse features the Jamaican coat of arms in high relief at center, depicting a quartered shield charged with pineapples and a cross, supported on the left by a Taino woman holding a basket of fruit and on the right by a Taino man bearing a bow, with a crocodile passant atop a royal helmet and mantling as the crest. A scroll below the shield bears the national motto legend OUT OF MANY, ONE PEOPLE. The country name JAMAICA arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS and the date 2001 are inscribed along the lower left field, all executed in a polished proof finish with frosted devices against a mirror field. |

| Additional information |
Jamaica issued this piece as part of the broader wave of UNICEF commemoratives produced by mints worldwide around the organization's 55th anniversary in 2001. The series was largely a licensing arrangement — national central banks authorized issues that were sold primarily to collector markets abroad, with a portion of proceeds directed toward UNICEF programs. Actual circulation was never the intent.
