| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
In 1978, construction crews excavating for a new building in downtown Mexico City accidentally unearthed the massive Coyolxauhqui monolith near the Templo Mayor — one of the most significant archaeological finds in Mexican history. The Banco de México moved quickly to explore the image for coinage, producing a series of pattern pieces in multiple compositions and with varying obverse configurations. This copper example, lacking the obverse legend present on other trials, represents an intermediate stage in that design approval process before the motif reached circulation in different form.
