| Obverse description | The obverse features a mountainous rocky landscape in the lower field, above which a stylized figurative emblem of interlinked human forms is depicted in the center, accompanied by a ring of twelve five-pointed stars referencing the European Union. Five diagonal parallel bars extend across the upper right field, evoking the Catalan Senyera flag. The denomination '25 EURO' appears prominently in the lower center, flanked by a small five-pointed star to the left, with the legend 'CATALUNYA' arcing across the upper field and the date '1998' inscribed along the bottom. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized depiction of an early steam locomotive in motion, rendered in low relief to evoke the historic Barcelona-Mataró railway. To the right, a portrait bust of Miquel Biada i Bunyol, the Spanish merchant mariner and principal promoter of the first railway line in Catalonia, is shown in profile. The surrounding legend commemorates the 150th anniversary of the railway, with inscriptions identifying both the route and the honoree distributed across the field. |
