| Obverse description | The obverse features the Mexican national coat of arms in the bimetallic centre, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus devouring a serpent, rendered in high-relief proof finish against a mirror-polished field. The golden centre contrasts sharply with the frosted silver outer ring. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS runs along the upper periphery of the silver ring in raised Latin lettering. Decorative laurel and oak branches flank the lower portion of the coat of arms within the ring, consistent with the standard national arms design. |

| Additional information |
This coin belongs to Mexico's long-running series celebrating the country's 31 states plus the Federal District, with each issue pairing gold and fine silver in a format the Casa de Moneda introduced in the early 2000s to target the high-end collector market. Baja California Sur holds the distinction of being Mexico's second-youngest state, having achieved statehood only in 1974 — the last territory to make that transition before the Federal District question resurfaced decades later.
The gold centres on this series were struck separately and pressed into the silver ring, a process that occasionally produced minor fitting inconsistencies across the run.
