| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Tsar Alexander I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and a truncated bust. A continuous circular legend surrounds the portrait, reading ALEXANDER I. CESARZ SA·W·ROS·KRÓL·POLSKI·1815, denoting his titles as Emperor of All Russia and King of Poland with the constitutional year. The inner border is formed by a delicate beaded ring, while the outer rim carries the milled edge collar. The portrait is executed in the neoclassical style characteristic of Jakub Reichel's workshop at the Warsaw Mint. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the Imperial Russian double-headed eagle displayed, each head crowned with a separate imperial crown and surmounted by a larger central crown bearing a cross, all finely struck in high relief. The eagle's breast bears an inescutcheon with the Polish White Eagle. The talons hold a sceptre and orb respectively. The mint-master's initials I·B (Jan Beyer) appear below the eagle's tail, flanked by small stars, with the date 1825 in the exergue. The surrounding circular legend reads 25 ZŁOT·POLSK· 52 Z GRZ·CZ·KOL I· B·, indicating the denomination and the gold fineness standard of 52 złote and grains per Cologne mark. |
