| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the large bold inscription 'ECU' flanked by a decorative cartouche incorporating a stylized windmill pump structure above the denomination numeral '25'. The legend 'DE NEDERLANDEN' arcs across the upper field, interspersed with a border of twelve European stars rendered as a ribbon motif. The date '19 93' is divided and placed at the lower left and lower right, flanking the base of the central device. The overall composition evokes a heraldic shield design with wavy lines symbolizing water in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | Three-quarter right-facing draped bust of Jan Adriaenszoon Leeghwater, the celebrated 17th-century Dutch millwright and hydraulic engineer, rendered in high relief with a full beard and period costume. In the left background, stylized windmill sails rise above stylized waves, while an array of period industrial or drainage structures appears in the right background against the field. The Latin motto 'EXPERIENTIA DOCET' ('Experience teaches') is inscribed to the right in a period-style typeface, and the name 'LEEGHWATER' appears in bold lettering along the lower field. |
