| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination '25' in large, bold numerals to the left of the central hole, with the abbreviation 'PTAS' inscribed below in smaller characters. The legend 'CASTILLA y LEON' is rendered in stylised decorative lettering arching across the upper field, incorporating a small 'M' mintmark for the Royal Mint of Madrid. To the right of the central hole, a finely detailed depiction of a bull and a second bovine figure occupy the lower right field, representing the livestock and rural heritage emblematic of the Castile and León autonomous community. The overall design reflects the regional commemorative series issued by Spain during the 1990s. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a commemorative regional series launched by Spain in the early 1990s to mark the autonomy statutes granted to each of the seventeen comunidades autónomas following the transition from Francoism. Castile and León, the largest region in the European Union by area, received its statute in 1983. The aluminium bronze alloy used throughout the series was chosen partly for its resistance to corrosion in circulation — a practical lesson drawn from earlier Spanish small denomination failures.
