| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupies the central field, depicting the heraldic eagle perched in left profile atop a nopal cactus growing from a rocky islet surrounded by water, with a serpent grasped in its beak and talon. The eagle is rendered with finely detailed feathering, its wings partially spread in a assertive posture. An oak branch and a laurel branch, tied with a ribbon, frame the base of the device on either side. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS runs along the upper periphery in capital Latin letters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylized ear of maize with its husks and leaves depicted in high relief, extending diagonally across the central field as a symbol of Mexican agricultural heritage. The denomination numeral '10' appears prominently to the left of the maize motif, with the abbreviation 'Cs.' inscribed to the upper right. The date of issue is struck along the lower portion of the field, with the Mexico City mint mark 'Mo' positioned to the right of the date. The overall composition is bold and uncluttered, reflecting the modernist design aesthetic characteristic of Mexican coinage of this period. |
