| Obverse description | Central field bears the Mexican national coat of arms depicting a Mexican golden eagle, wings spread and facing left, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, with a serpent grasped in its beak and talons. An oak branch appears to the lower left and a laurel branch to the lower right, framing the base of the design. The circumference is bordered by a decorative repeating chain-link or C-scroll motif. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arches along the upper periphery in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized profile portrait of a pre-Columbian figure, rendered in a bold, modernist sculptural style reminiscent of ancient Mesoamerican stone carving, facing left with an elaborate feathered headdress cascading behind the head. The denomination mark '$1' appears in a geometric, Art Deco-influenced typeface to the left of the central motif. The date '1979' is inscribed in large numerals along the lower field within a recessed panel framed by two stepped decorative elements at either corner. The border is ornamented with a continuous repeating C-scroll motif echoing the obverse periphery. |
