| Obverse description | Central field features a stylized design of four human figures with raised and joined arms, rendered in a modern graphic style, positioned above a series of vertical bars that incorporate the four bars of the Catalan flag. A partial ring of twelve five-pointed stars surrounds the lower portion of the design, evoking the European Community motif. The denomination '25' appears prominently to the left, with 'ECU' inscribed below it along the left rim. The legend 'CATALUNYA' arcs across the upper field, with the date '1995' inscribed vertically alongside the left figures. |
