| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Mexican national arms in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The central device depicts a Mexican golden eagle, wings spread and facing left, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, grasping a serpent in its beak and talon. The cactus and rocky base are flanked by an oak branch to the left and a laurel branch to the right, tied together at the base with a ribbon. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a highly detailed frontal bust of a Peninsular pronghorn bighorn sheep (borrego cimarrón), a species emblematic of Baja California, rendered in fine relief at the center of the field. Radiating lines extend from behind the animal's head toward the lower portion of the field, evoking a sunburst motif. The denomination $10 appears in the upper central field above the animal. The legend BAJA CALIFORNIA arcs along the upper periphery, while GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO is inscribed along the lower periphery. The date 2005 appears to the lower left and the Mexico City mint mark Mo to the lower right. |
