| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Mexican national coat of arms at center, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus and devouring a serpent, all set upon a rocky outcrop flanked by an oak and laurel wreath tied with a ribbon. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The curved legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs above the central device. The inner field is framed by a distinctive pre-Columbian stepped geometric border design, with the inscription 1 ONZA DE ORO and LEY 0.999 appearing in the lower exergue below the decorative border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold high-relief rendering of a pre-Columbian ceremonial axe head (hacha), depicted in the form of a stylized anthropomorphic profile face viewed from the left, with elaborate headdress, open jaw, and detailed surface ornamentation consistent with Mesoamerican sculptural tradition. The date 1993 appears to the left of the device and the Mexico City Mint mark Mo to the right, both at mid-field. The legend HACHA CEREMONIAL is inscribed below the central motif, separated by a horizontal line from the denomination N$100 in the lower exergue. The inner field is framed by the same pre-Columbian stepped geometric border as the obverse. |
