| Obverse description | The obverse features the Mexican national coat of arms at center, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The design is rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field, accentuating the fine detail of the eagle's plumage and the encircling garland of oak and laurel branches tied at the base. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed allegorical composition celebrating the state of Coahuila de Zaragoza, with the jagged outline of the state's map serving as a framing device across the field. At left stands a robed indigenous figure extending an arm bearing a tortoise, symbolic of the region's natural heritage, while at center a coal mining wagon alludes to the state's important mining industry. A bunch of grapes references viticulture, a colonial baroque cathedral occupies the lower right, and industrial facilities including a dam and steel plant appear in the background quadrants. The Mexican Mint monogram (Mo) and the date 2006 appear at the top of the field above the denomination $10, with the state name COAHUILA DE ZARAGOZA inscribed on a ribbon banner along the lower periphery. |
