Obverse description The Mexican national arms occupy the central field, depicting the heraldic eagle perched left upon a cactus rising from a rocky islet, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons, rendered in fine detail with fully spread wings. An oak branch and a laurel branch flank the base of the design, tied at the bottom by a ribbon. The circumferential legend reads ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, arcing across the upper periphery in bold Latin capital letters.

The denomination legend UN PESO is inscribed vertically along the left field in large capital letters, and the date 1980 appears in the lower exergual area. The Mexican Mint mark (Mo) is positioned to the right of the bust near the middle field.
