| Obverse description | The central field displays the national coat of arms of Burundi, featuring a lion passant on a shield surmounted by three crossed spears, flanked by two scrolls inscribed UNITE TRAVAIL PROGRES in French and UBUMWE IBIKORWA AMAJAMBERE in Kirundi. The circular legend IBANKI YA REPUBLIKA Y' UBURUNDI arcs above the arms, while the denomination 25 FRANCS appears in the lower field, flanked by the specifications 2 OZ and Ag 999. The entire design is set against a highly polished mirror field, with the outer border adorned by an intricate geometric meander or key-fret pattern rendered in both plain silver and selective gold-toned finish. |

| Reverse description | A finely detailed high-relief Chinese dragon occupies the left and upper portion of the field, rendered in intricate scales with its head turned forward and claws extended, set against a misty mountainous background. To the upper right, a small square gold-plated inset panel depicts a heraldic lion, providing a selective gilded accent. At the center-right, a circular green jade disc inlay is set flush into the field, intricately carved in relief with a coiling dragon motif in traditional Chinese style. The arc legend YEAR OF THE DRAGON appears along the upper rim, and the date 2024 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |
