| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupies the central field, depicting the eagle displayed upon a cactus with a serpent in its beak, encircled by a wreath of oak and laurel. The arc legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' curves along the upper periphery. The design is framed by a decorative stepped-fret border inspired by pre-Columbian architectural motifs. Below the central device, the inscription '1/2 ONZA DE PLATA' appears on one line with 'LEY 0.999' directly beneath, attesting to the coin's silver content and fineness. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a faithful reproduction of the bas-relief (bajorrelieve) from El Tajín, the pre-Columbian archaeological site of the Totonac culture in Veracruz, Mexico. The intricate relief panel depicts richly adorned ritual figures engaged in a ceremonial ballgame scene, rendered with characteristic Mesoamerican scrollwork, serpentine motifs, and volute ornamentation across multiple horizontal registers. The entire composition is framed by the same stepped-fret decorative border as the obverse. The legend 'BAJORRELIEVE DE EL TAJIN' curves along the lower portion of the inner frame, with the date '1993' incused at the upper left of the relief panel and the denomination 'N$2' inscribed below in the exergue. |
