| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky islet, devouring a serpent in its beak and talons. The eagle is rendered in a bold, stylized modern design with detailed feather engraving. An oak and laurel wreath frames the lower portion of the central device. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery, separated from the inner design by a decorative beaded border. |

| Reverse description | A bold bust of a Mesoamerican eagle warrior faces left, rendered in a stylized pre-Columbian artistic manner, wearing a distinctive eagle helmet with open beak surmounting the warrior's head. The denomination $1 appears to the left of the bust in the field, while the date 1979 is inscribed below the portrait. The design reflects Mexico's indigenous cultural heritage through its strong graphic treatment and pre-Columbian iconographic references. |
