Obverse descriptionThe centre of the coin core features the stylised denomination numeral “25”. The outlines of the number “25” reveal an image of a marten turned to the right, with the marten’s body integrated with the denomination numeral. Positioned above the denomination numeral and the image of a marten, on the coin’s core surface, is an image of the coat of arms of the Republic of Croatia. The name of the monetary unit “KUNA” is inscribed below the numeral, within the coin’s core. A common oak branch with acorns is positioned at the left of the denomination numeral, on the coin’s ring surface. A laurel branch in bloom is positioned at the right of the denomination numeral, on the coin`s ring surface.

By composition, using the acronyms “HR” and “EU” and the presidency year “2020”, it conveys the connection between Croatia and the European Union.
