Obverse description Printed in red on white paper in a rudimentary letterpress style, the obverse carries a vignette at left of a lighthouse with an adjacent structure, and a schematic gateway or tiered monument at right, with the large numeral '25' and the written denomination 'DUA PULUH LIMA RUPIAH' occupying the centre field. Decorative floral rosettes occupy the four corners, and a laurel wreath frames the serial number at the bottom centre, flanked by two handwritten signatures above — one at lower left attributed to the Panitia Keuangan and one in Arabic script at lower right for the Residen Banten. The date 'SERANG, 15 DESEMBER 1947' appears at lower right.

Reverse description The reverse is printed entirely in red on white paper in the same letterpress technique, with a bold ornamental border of scrolling foliage and stylised wave motifs. Numerals '25' appear in decorative cartouches at both the left and right of the central text panel, which contains the anti-counterfeiting legal warning in Indonesian. The overall composition is unadorned save for the border ornamentation.
