| Obverse description | The obverse centers on a finely rendered relief of a historic screw press (volante), the traditional coin-minting machine, depicted with precise mechanical detail against a deeply mirrored proof field characteristic of the striking technique. The mint monogram 'Mo' is placed in the upper central field directly above the press. The circumferential legend 'CASA DE MONEDA DE MEXICO' arcs along the upper periphery, while the date '1978' is inscribed along the left field. The design is framed by a finely dentilated border rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a centrally placed assay balance scale with two suspended pans hanging from chains, rendered in fine relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. To the left of the scale, a two-line inscription reads 'PESO 33.625 GRAMOS', denoting the coin's precise weight. The circumferential legend 'UNA ONZA TROY=480 GRANOS DE PLATA PURA' arcs around the upper and lower periphery, with 'LEY 0.925' prominently displayed in the lower central field to indicate the silver fineness. A small five-pointed star punctuates the base of the legend, and the entire design is enclosed within a finely dentilated border rim. |
