| Obverse description | At center, a detailed depiction of a balancín-type coin press (a screw press of the type historically used in early Mexican minting), rendered in fine relief. A circular legend surrounds the central device, identifying the historic mint by name. The overall composition evokes the colonial-era coinage tradition of the Antigua Casa de Moneda de México. |

| Reverse description | The Aztec deity Xochipilli, god of art, games, beauty, and flowers, is depicted in detailed relief at center, rendered in a style drawing on pre-Columbian iconographic tradition. The silver fineness designation appears to the left of the figure, the mint mark and year of issue to the right, and the weight denomination inscription is placed along the lower portion of the field. The composition of legends and imagery is balanced across the reverse, emphasizing both the coin's precious metal content and its cultural symbolism. |
