| Obverse description |
A finely engraved tropical coastal vignette occupies the left half of the note, with tall palm trees leaning over a rocky shoreline rendered in detailed intaglio. The central and right portions carry the bilingual denomination text in Dutch and Malay, set against an intricate guilloche underprint, with a large numeral '25' medallion at upper-right formed by concentric lathe-work rosettes. Two manuscript signatures appear below the denomination text, captioned SECRETARIS and PRESIDENT, with the printer's imprint JOH. ENSCHEDÉ EN ZONEN along the lower margin. |
| Reverse description |
The reverse is printed in green and red on a dense guilloche background, centred on a large stylised floral or foliate motif with the interlaced 'JB' bank monogram at its heart. Four rectangular panels carry anti-counterfeiting legal warnings in Dutch, Malay, Javanese script, and Chinese characters respectively, positioned at the upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, and lower-right. The denomination numeral '25' appears in the upper-right and lower-left corners, with serial number and prefix letters printed in black. |
