| Obverse description | A crowned eagle displayed, perched atop an arched bridge, occupying the central field. The design is characteristic of insurgent cob-style coinage, struck with crude workmanship typical of emergency issues. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device reading VICE FERDIN. VII DEI GRATIA, invoking authority in the name of Ferdinand VII by the grace of God. The overall composition reflects the improvised nature of the insurgent mint during the Mexican War of Independence. |

| Obverse lettering | VICE FERDIN. VII DEI GRATIA (Translation: In the name of Fernando 7th by the grace of God) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a central design composed of a bow, quiver of arrows, and associated emblems symbolizing the insurgent cause, with the fractional denomination indicated in the field. A partial circular Latin legend surrounds the device reading S. P. CONG. NAT. IND. GUV.T., referencing the Supreme National Congress. The execution is rough and irregular, consistent with the primitive casting or striking techniques employed at insurgent mints during the 1811–1814 period of the Mexican independence struggle. |
