| Obverse description | The obverse of the host coin (Mexico 5 Pesos, KM#465) bears the Mexican national arms at center — an eagle perched on a cactus, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons — upon which a bold applied counterstamp has been struck. The counterstamp legend reads ANGUILLA in large capitals arranged along the upper arc of the field, flanked by bullet stops, with LIBERTY DOLLAR continuing around the lower arc. Centrally applied across the host coin's device, in three lines, is the commemorative date JULY / 11 / 1967, marking Anguilla's declaration of independence from the associated state of Saint Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla. The counterstamp letters are large and somewhat crudely executed, consistent with the improvised nature of this provisional issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the original obverse of the Mexican host coin (KM#465, 5 Pesos, 1947–48), featuring the Mexican national coat of arms: an eagle standing on a prickly pear cactus rising from a lake, devouring a serpent, with a wreath of oak and laurel branches below. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS curves along the upper periphery in Latin script. The field is smooth and lightly worn, consistent with circulation use of the host coin prior to counterstamping. No Anguilla counterstamp appears on this face. |
