| Obverse description | Central field features the Shah dynasty trident symbol enclosed within a raised inner circle. The trident motif is rendered in the traditional Nepalese royal style, with the design serving as the primary dynastic emblem. The royal legend in Devanagari script, reading the triple honorific of King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev, encircles the central device. The Vikrama Samvat regnal year appears at the base of the legend. |

| Reverse description | Central inner circle contains an upright dagger flanked symmetrically by two garland sprays descending from above, with the denomination legend in Devanagari reading 'Pachis Paisa' (Twenty-five Paisa) and 'Nepal' inscribed within the circle below the dagger. The outer border, formed by a scalloped or lobed decorative frame, carries the religious legend in Devanagari invoking 'Shree Shree Shree Gorkhanath' and 'Shree Bhavani' in segmented panels around the periphery. The overall design is characteristic of mid-20th century Nepalese coinage, combining royal and religious iconography. |
