| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Somalia occupies the central field, featuring a shield charged with horizontal lines and a five-pointed star, supported by two leopards rampant, with crossed palm fronds below. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF SOMALIA' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. The date '2001' appears in the lower central field, flanked by the denomination '25 SHILLINGS' inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color applied image of the historic Dutch sailing vessel Half Moon (De Halve Maen), depicted under sail with multiple flags flying from her masts, set against a sky-blue background suggesting open water. This color scene is framed within a boldly struck trompe-l'oeil ship's porthole, complete with sculpted bolt-head details around the rim and architectural deck elements visible to the left. The porthole surround is rendered in the coin's native copper-nickel, providing a strong contrast to the vivid polychrome insert within. |
