| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms dominate the field, depicting the iconic eagle displayed in left profile, perched upon a cactus rising from a rocky outcrop amid water, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The design is rendered in a bold, stylized linear technique characteristic of Mexican mint engraving of the period. Flanking the central device are sprigs of oak and laurel, tied at the base with a ribbon. Notably, this pattern piece bears no surrounding legend on the obverse, distinguishing it from the circulation issue. |
