| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait of President Julius Nyerere facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair texture, occupying the central field. Flanking the effigy are two stylised flowering plant sprigs in low relief, one to each side. The upper legend reads TANZANIA 1974 curving along the rim, while the lower legend RAIS WA KWANZA — meaning 'First President' in Swahili — arcs along the base. The deeply mirrored proof fields contrast sharply with the frosted devices, characteristic of Royal Mint craftsmanship. |

| Reverse description | Two giraffes depicted in full stride, moving to the right across a suggested savannah ground line, rendered with intricate patterned relief evoking the animals' reticulated markings. The Swahili denomination legend SHILINGI ISHIRINI NA TANO curves around the upper and right periphery of the field, while the numeral 25 flanked by two raised dots appears in the lower exergual area. The deeply polished proof fields provide a striking contrast to the frosted animal and typographic devices, underlining the coin's status as a prestige conservation issue. |
