| Reverse description | The central field bears the denomination expressed in numerals, accompanied by a bow and quiver of arrows as symbolic devices, alluding to the insurgent cause. These elements are arranged within the field in the characteristically rough style of cast insurgent issues. The peripheral legend reads S. P. CONG. NAT. IND., an abbreviation for the Supreme Governing National Congress of the Indies, identifying the issuing authority. The entire design reflects the makeshift but deliberate iconographic program of the Mexican independence movement during the years 1811 to 1814. |
