| Obverse description | The obverse features the Mexican national coat of arms in high-relief proof finish, struck in the bimetallic format with the central gold disc bearing the eagle design and the surrounding silver ring carrying the national legend. The central device depicts the Mexican golden eagle, displayed in left profile, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop surrounded by water, with a serpent clutched in its beak and talons. An ornamental wreath of oak and laurel branches, tied with a ribbon, frames the lower portion of the central device within the gold field. The encircling legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS is inscribed in raised Latin letters along the upper periphery of the silver ring. The overall composition reflects the classical Republican style employed by the Casa de Moneda de México for its commemorative proof series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents, within the gold centre disc, the shield-shaped coat of arms of the State of Chihuahua in high-relief, rendered with fine proof detail against the polished field. The state arms are depicted in heraldic form, featuring the characteristic elements of the Chihuahua escutcheon. Surrounding the central gold device, the silver ring bears the inscription ESTADO DE CHIHUAHUA along the upper arc and the denomination $100 positioned in the lower field. The mint date 2005 and the Mexico City Mint mark Mo appear within the design, referencing the place and year of issue. The contrasting finishes of the mirror-like silver ring and the textured gold centre create a striking visual effect consistent with the high-quality proof standard of this commemorative series. |
