| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Burundi is centrally positioned in the field, featuring a lion's head on a shield flanked by crossed spears and traditional decorative scrollwork. A circular legend arcs around the upper periphery reading the issuing bank name in Kirundi, with the national motto continuing along both sides. The denomination '25 FRANCS' appears in the lower exergue in bold lettering. The coin displays a proof-like finish with deeply mirrored fields. |

| Reverse description | A selectively palladium-plated maple leaf occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with fine vein detail characteristic of the iconic Canadian maple leaf motif. The date '2025' appears to one side of the leaf, with the series title 'INVESTMENT STARS' arcing across the upper legend. The weight designation '1/2 G.' and fineness statement '9999 FINEST GOLD' are inscribed in the lower portion of the field, flanking and below the central device. A small anniversary inscription '20th Anniv.' references the series commemorative context. |

| Additional information |
Burundi has no meaningful connection to either Canada or the maple leaf — this is a bullion-adjacent novelty issue produced explicitly for the collector export market, a category Burundi's central bank has leaned into heavily since the 2010s by licensing foreign themes onto small-denomination gold pieces. The selective palladium plating is a sales differentiator, not a monetary or metallurgical necessity.
