| Obverse description | Central device depicting a bow and upright arrow surmounted by symmetrical floral and foliate scroll ornaments, all rendered in a bold, primitive struck style characteristic of insurgent emergency coinage. The inscription SUD appears in large capital letters in the lower field, flanked by decorative flourishes. The coin's border is formed by a toothed or milled rim encircling the entire design. SUD is an abbreviation for 'Sud' (South), referencing the Southern Army of the Mexican insurgency led by José María Morelos. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the bold monogram 'M' for Morelos at the top, flanked by dots, beneath which the denomination '1R' (1 Real) is inscribed with flanking dots, and the date 1813 appears below in the lower field. The entire design is encircled by a wreath of laurel or olive branches, rendered in a crude but vigorous style consistent with wartime emergency coinage. The border features a toothed rim. The overall composition reflects the improvised but symbolically deliberate nature of the Oaxacan insurgent mint. |
