| Obverse description | Black intaglio print on white paper with fine guilloche border work framing the entire note. At centre, a scenic vignette portrays a group of elegantly dressed figures observing a large waterfall landscape. To the left, the national coat of arms of Costa Rica is set within a circular medallion, while to the right a portrait bust of a uniformed military officer is presented in fine intaglio engraving. The denomination numeral '25' appears in the upper corners, with the issuer's title 'REPUBLICA DE COSTA RICA' arched across the top and the text 'LAS ADMINISTRACIONES DE LAS RENTAS PUBLICAS PAGARAN AL PORTADOR' below; the printer's imprint 'American Bank Note Co. N.Y.' is visible at the lower centre. |

| Reverse description | Printed predominantly as a blind or lightly inked back, the reverse mirrors the general layout of the obverse through an impression visible in the paper, with the central vignette, corner numerals, and arched lettering discernible as ghost images through the sheet. The overall surface appears unprinted or very lightly backed, consistent with American Bank Note Company production practice of the period. |
