Obverse description The obverse features the crowned royal cypher of King Christian X of Denmark, composed of the interlaced initials C and X rendered in an elegant cursive style and occupying the majority of the field. The cypher is surmounted by a large, detailed royal crown with arched bands and orb finial. The mint master's initials HCN appear at the lower left of the field, and the engraver's initials GJ appear at the lower right, flanking the date. The year of issue is inscribed at the lower portion of the field between the two sets of initials, with a small heart mintmark visible near the left initials. The entire design is enclosed within a raised beaded border.

Reverse description The reverse displays the denomination numeral '25' in large, boldly stylised figures dominating the upper field, rendered in an Art Nouveau-influenced typeface with pronounced curvilinear strokes. Beneath the numeral, the word 'ØRE' is inscribed in similarly styled lettering of the same decorative character. Flanking the denomination on either side are symmetrical scroll and tendril ornaments in the Art Nouveau manner, terminating at the lower field in a central circular rosette motif. The design is contained within a raised beaded border, with the smooth field providing a clean background to the typographic composition.
