| Obverse description | The obverse features a dynamic, stylized allegorical composition in the upper field, depicting a hand holding a torch or trumpet amid swirling decorative scrollwork and a rearing lion at the lower field, all rendered in a bold Art Deco-influenced style. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircles the design along the inner border, referencing European unity. The central field bears the bold raised legend KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN arranged across two lines, with the denomination 25 ECU and the date 1994 inscribed below in matching decorative lettering. The overall design is typographic and heraldic in character, with the inscriptions and motifs integrated into a unified artistic composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely modelled portrait bust of Franklin D. Roosevelt facing slightly left, depicted with characteristic round-framed spectacles and wearing a suit and tie, engraved by Ian Rank-Broadley. The portrait is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, occupying the majority of the coin's surface. The curved legend FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT arcs along the upper periphery, with the surname continuing along the right side. The quoted inscription CHAMPION OF FREEDOM appears in the right field beside the portrait. The composition is restrained and dignified, befitting a commemorative issue honouring the wartime American president. |
