| Obverse description | Central design featuring a bow and arrow displayed horizontally in the field, with the arrowhead pointing upward. The legend SUD (abbreviation for 'Sud', meaning 'South', referencing the Southern Army of the Mexican insurgency) appears in large letters across the lower portion of the coin. The flan is irregular and roughly circular, characteristic of the primitive casting methods employed during the Oaxacan insurgent coinage. |

| Reverse description | The interlaced monogram of insurgent leader General José María Morelos, rendered as 'Mo', occupies the central field in a bold, roughly engraved style. The date appears in the lower portion of the field below the monogram. The overall execution is crude and characteristic of emergency wartime coinage, with an irregular flan and uneven surfaces consistent with cast production. |
