| Obverse description | A crowned eagle with spread wings perched atop an arched bridge, facing left, rendered in a crude but bold relief characteristic of insurgent emergency coinage. The bridge rests upon a base with decorative elements beneath. A circular legend surrounds the central device, incorporating the date at the bottom of the field. The overall style reflects the rudimentary engraving techniques employed by the insurgent forces during the Mexican War of Independence. |

| Reverse description | A composite emblematic device occupying the central field, depicting a strung bow with an arrow, a quiver, and an upright pike or lance, arranged together as symbols of armed insurgency and resistance. The design is rendered in the roughly engraved style typical of Mexican insurgent coinage of the period. A circular Latin legend surrounds the device, referencing the authority of the Supreme National Congress. The coin exhibits an irregular, slightly polygonal flan edge consistent with hand-struck emergency issues. |
