| Reverse description | Central field features a large bold 'M' — the mintmark for the Mexico City Mint — with a small dot in the center and the superscript letter 'o' above, forming the standard 'Mo' abbreviation for the mint. To the left of the 'M' appears the abbreviation 'VE' (for 'Valor Efectivo' or the value designation), and to the right the fraction '1/16' denoting the denomination in reales. The design is austere and typographic in character, consistent with the utilitarian style of colonial pattern issues. A reeded border frames the reverse field. |
