| Obverse description | The silver centre features the Mexican national coat of arms, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The aluminium bronze outer ring bears the national legend arcing along the upper periphery, flanked at the lower border by two laurel branches tied with a ribbon. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to Mexico's long-running "Numismatic Heritage" bimetallic series, which began in 2000 and assigned one coin to each of the country's 31 states plus the Federal District. The Puebla issue appeared in 2007 as part of the series' second phase. Mintages across the series varied considerably by state, and secondary-market premiums on individual issues reflect those differences sharply.
The .925 silver centre is heavier than it looks — the aluminium bronze ring accounts for a surprisingly small fraction of total mass given its visual dominance.
