| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Mexico occupies the silver centre field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus growing from a rock in a lake, devouring a serpent. The heraldic design is rendered in high relief within the bimetallic format, with the aluminium bronze outer ring bearing the curved legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS along the upper periphery. Decorative laurel and oak branches flank the base of the coat of arms within the ring. |

| Reverse description | The silver centre field presents a faithful numismatic reproduction of the historic 8 reales provisional cob coin struck at Zacatecas in 1811, showing the characteristic crude triangular mountain motif with a cross at its apex, surrounded by the circular legend of the original piece including the mint name ZACATECAS and the inscription MONEDA PROVISIO[NAL], all rendered in fine detail. The aluminium bronze outer ring carries the curved legend HERENCIA NUMISMATICA DE MEXICO along the upper periphery, flanked by two bullet points, with the mint mark Mo and the date 2012 positioned at the left and right sides respectively, and the denomination $100 displayed in the lower exergue of the ring. |
