| Obverse description | The green and blue niobium centre features a stylised double helix DNA strand at left, rendered in vivid blue, alongside three hexagonal cells arranged vertically in the field, bearing respectively the symbols of a laboratory flask, a microscope, and the Rod of Asclepius, with the inscriptions RNA and DNA identifying the central scientific motifs. A molecular chain structure extends to the right within the niobium disc. The surrounding silver ring carries the legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH and the date 2014 along the upper arc, with 25 EURO at left and EVOLUTION along the lower arc, all in raised Latin lettering. |

| Reverse description | The green and blue niobium centre depicts the iconic march of evolution, showing a blue-toned chimpanzee-like primate at left transitioning to an upright early hominid figure at centre, rendered in high relief against the textured niobium field. Above them, within the niobium disc, fish are shown swimming, referencing aquatic evolutionary stages. The silver ring surrounding the niobium centre is richly engraved with a panorama of life forms representing the diversity of evolution, including a bird, a frog, a reptile, mushrooms, and foliage in low relief, while a fully upright modern human male figure in classical style stands to the right on the silver ring, completing the evolutionary sequence. |
