| Obverse description | Central field features the Mexican national coat of arms depicting an eagle displayed in left profile, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rock rising from a lake, devouring a serpent held in its beak and talons. The eagle is rendered in high relief with detailed feathering, wings slightly spread, and is surrounded by an oak and laurel garland tied at the base. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs around the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. The design is struck on a heptagonal flan with smooth curved sides. |

| Reverse description | Central field presents a left-facing male portrait bust in high relief, rendered in a naturalistic style with finely detailed hair. The denomination DIEZ PESOS is inscribed in two words arcing across the upper field. Below the portrait, the lower legend reads LEY 000 Mo 1973, indicating the silver fineness (000), the Mexican Mint assayer mark (Mo), and the year of issue. The design is struck on a heptagonal flan consistent with the pattern series, with a mirror-like proof-quality field contrasting with the raised devices. |
