| Reverse description | The reverse presents a stylized pre-Columbian motif at center, identified as a ceremonial or decorative element associated with the State of Puebla, rendered in finely frosted relief against a mirror-polished field. The inner border is adorned with an intricate repeating pattern of floral and geometric ornamental devices arranged symmetrically around the circumference, evoking Talavera pottery decorative traditions characteristic of the region. In the upper field the date 2007 appears to the left and the denomination $10 to the right. The legend ESTADO DE PUEBLA is inscribed along the lower arc in bold serif capitals. The Mexican Mint mark Mo appears to the lower left of the central motif. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Banco de México's long-running series of collector issues tied to individual Mexican states, each released under the broader numismatic program that ran through the mid-2000s. Puebla's inclusion reflects the state's historical weight — it was the site of the Battle of May 5, 1862, in which Mexican forces under General Ignacio Zaragoza repelled a French Imperial advance, an engagement that gave the world Cinco de Mayo as a cultural marker while doing relatively little to alter the ultimate French occupation that followed within the year.
