| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupy the gold centre field, depicting the heraldic eagle passant perched on a cactus growing from a rock amid water, clutching a serpent in its beak and talons, surrounded by an ornamental wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon. The encircling legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' appears in the silver outer ring, with decorative foliate elements flanking the legend. The design is rendered in high-relief proof finish, contrasting the polished silver ring against the struck gold centre. |

| Additional information |
Quintana Roo was the last Mexican territory to achieve full statehood, not admitted until 1974 — over a century after most of the republic's other states were constituted. This series, issued by Casa de Moneda to mark each of Mexico's 31 states plus the Federal District, assigned Quintana Roo its own release as part of a multi-year program running through the mid-2000s.
The bimetallic proof construction, with fine gold core seated in a fine silver ring, places this among the more technically demanding issues in the program. Mintages across the state series were tightly controlled, rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces per issue.
