| Obverse description | The silver centre features the Mexican national coat of arms, depicting a golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent in its beak and talons, all rendered in fine detail. The design is faithful to the traditional heraldic depiction used on Mexican coinage. The aluminium bronze outer ring bears the national legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' arching along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. Decorative laurel and olive branches are engraved in the lower portion of the ring, flanking the base of the central design. |

| Additional information |
Part of Mexico's long-running "States of the Federation" bimetallic series, this Veracruz issue was one of 32 coins released between 2004 and 2009 — one per state plus the Federal District. The Casa de Moneda de México produced the series specifically for collectors rather than circulation, though legal tender status was maintained. Veracruz holds particular significance in Mexican monetary history: the port city was the primary entry point for Spanish silver shipments during the colonial period, making it foundational to the very economy that eventually necessitated a national mint.
