| Obverse description | Stylized depiction of a Luxembourg city fortification wall with a central tower and spire occupying the upper field, surrounded by twelve five-pointed stars arranged in an arc reminiscent of the European Community emblem. The Luxembourgish country name LËTZEBUERG appears in large incuse letters across the middle of the wall. Below, the quartered arms of Luxembourg — featuring rampant lions — are displayed on a shield at center, flanked by the denomination 25 to the left and ECU to the right, with the date 1997 split either side of the shield in the lower field. A mint mark and privy mark appear to the lower left of the shield. |
