| Obverse description | The obverse bears the Mexican national arms at center, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent in its beak, with wings displayed. A garland of oak and laurel branches frames the lower portion of the device. The circular legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script, separated from the rim by a fine dentilated border. |

| Additional information |
The 2 Peso gold piece was not minted continuously across those decades — the vast majority of examples dated between 1920 and 1947 are restrikes produced by the Casa de Moneda for bullion and collector demand, a practice Mexico formalized as official policy. The original 1919 issue is the only date struck for circulation; everything after is a restrike bearing a frozen or reused date, which complicates any attempt to assign a true mintage to individual years.
