| Obverse description | A detailed depiction of the medieval castle-palace of Olite, rendered in fine relief, dominates the lower portion of the obverse, flanking the central perforation on both sides with its characteristic towers and battlements. Above the central hole, the chains of the former Kingdom of Navarre are shown in stylized form, referencing the historic coat of arms of the region. The legend ESPAÑA appears in a curved arc along the upper rim, with the date 1999 positioned to the right of the chains. The engraving, by Luis José Díaz Salas, is executed in a detailed pictorial style characteristic of the Spanish autonomous community commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic scene from the famous Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona, showing a figure running before a charging bull in vigorous low relief, evoking the traditional encierro. To the left of the central hole, the heraldic coat of arms of Navarre — featuring the chains on a red field — is shown in simplified form. The denomination 25 PTAS and the mint mark M appear alongside the regional name NAVARRA in the legend, arranged around the central perforation. The composition, engraved by Begoña Castellanos García, conveys movement and regional cultural identity within the constraints of the small flan. |
