| Obverse description | Central field displays the fractional denomination '1/4' in large numerals, enclosed within an open wreath composed of laurel or oak branches tied at the base. The date 1862 appears in the lower exergual area beneath the wreath. The circular legend surrounding the design reads ESTADO LIBRE DE SAN LUIS POTOSI, punctuated by a decorative stop, all in raised Latin lettering. The overall design is characteristic of the provincial copper coinage issued by the free state of San Luis Potosí during the Mexican Republic period. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the Mexican republican eagle displayed facing left, perched upon a cactus rising from a rocky island surrounded by water, with a serpent grasped in its beak, rendered in the conventional heraldic style of mid-nineteenth-century Mexican coinage. The circular legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, punctuated by a decorative stop. The field is otherwise plain, consistent with the modest striking standards typical of provincial copper issues of this period. |
