| Obverse description | The obverse features the Mexican national coat of arms at center, depicting a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus rising from a rocky island, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, with fine detailing on the eagle's plumage and the surrounding nopal foliage. A wreath of oak and laurel branches frames the lower portion of the central device. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. |
