| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupy the gold centre field, depicting the heraldic eagle displayed in left profile, perched upon a nopal cactus growing from a rock in a lake, with a serpent grasped in its beak and talons. The eagle is rendered in high relief with fine feather detailing characteristic of the proof finish. A wreath of oak and laurel branches frames the lower portion of the design. The encircling legend in the silver ring reads ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Casa de Moneda's long-running series honoring individual Mexican states, this Tabasco issue belongs to a program that ran across multiple years and required the mint to produce bimetallic proof pieces combining .999 gold centers with .999 silver rings — a technically demanding format that generated frequent criticism from collectors over delamination risks at the bimetallic join.
Tabasco's inclusion in the series is unremarkable in political terms, though the state's oil wealth — Pemex operations there expanded dramatically through the 1970s — gave it an outsized economic profile relative to its size.
