| Obverse description | Stylized effigy of a roaring lion's head facing right, rendered in a bold, flowing artistic style with elaborate mane striations filling the field. The powerful open-jawed portrait, designed by Stuart Devlin, dominates the coin's surface with dramatic linear detail. The country name in Ge'ez script (ኢትዮጵያ) appears as a legend along the upper rim, while the Ethiopian calendar date is inscribed in Ge'ez numerals at the lower rim below the chin of the lion. |

| Reverse description | Two figures facing right with arms raised in a dynamic, forward-striding pose: a woman at left holding a spanner in her left hand, and a man at right holding a tool in his right hand, emblematic of labor and industry. An industrial factory building appears in the background behind the figures. The denomination numeral '25' appears prominently in the field to the left, with the value legend in Ge'ez script arranged to the right, all set within a plain field with a raised rim. |
