| Obverse description | Draped bust of a male figure facing right, occupying the central field, with an unfinished truncation at the base characteristic of this die variety. The surrounding legend reads ESTADO L. Y S. DE OAXACA, affirming the Free and Sovereign State of Oaxaca, with the date 1915 flanked by stars positioned at the lower periphery. The overall execution is notably crude, consistent with the emergency provisional coinage produced during the Mexican Revolution. The field is plain and unadorned beyond the portrait and circumscribed legend. |

| Reverse description | Plain central field bearing the denomination inscription UN PESO in two lines of bold raised lettering, dominating the center of the coin. The circumferential legend MONEDA PROVISIONAL arcs around the upper portion of the reverse. A wreath of laurel or oak branches frames the lower half of the field, curving upward from the base on both sides toward the denomination. The design is characteristically simple and utilitarian, reflecting the emergency nature of this provisional issue. A raised border ring encircles the entire reverse design. |
