| Obverse description | Crowned monogram of Nueva Vizcaya, the colonial designation for the territory that later became the state of Durango under the Mexican Federation. The monogram is rendered in a plain field, reflecting the rudimentary engraving style characteristic of emergency Royalist coinage struck during the Mexican War of Independence. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears the denomination inscription OCTAVO DE REAL arranged in three lines, reading downward as 'OCTAV / DE / REAL', within a circular legend reading DE DURANGO. The date appears at the bottom of the coin along the inner border, with the year 1813 visible in the image. The design is characteristically crude, consistent with the improvised nature of provincial Royalist emergency coinage. |
