| Obverse description | The obverse is arranged in an asymmetrical composition with an intaglio portrait vignette of Georgi Dimitrov at left, balanced by the Bulgarian state coat of arms at right, while the denomination numeral '25' is set within a guilloche rosette on the broad white left margin. A multicolour underprint of fine lathe-work patterns frames the central field, enclosed within an ornamental border. Cyrillic letterpress inscriptions giving the issuing authority and full denomination appear above and below the portrait vignette. |

| Reverse description | The reverse centres on an intaglio vignette of a youth brigade engaged in manual railway-track laying at a tunnel entrance, with workers rendered in the foreground and middleground in a socialist-realist style. The denomination '25 Лева' is set in large stylised Cyrillic letterpress at lower centre, flanked by guilloche ornamental panels and repeated numeral '25' cartouches at left and right. A multicolour underprint of floral rosette motifs fills the margins, with the legal guarantee and anti-forgery texts in small letterpress below the central scene. |
