| Obverse description | Countermark of the Congress of Chilpancingo applied to the host coin, depicting a crowned eagle with spread wings above a crowned shield, all within a circular border. A partial circular legend surrounds the device, reading CONGNAL DE ZACATECAS or similar text depending on the host coin's origin. The countermark is struck in the field of the host coin and shows characteristic insurgent die workmanship. The underlying host coin design remains partially visible beneath and around the applied countermark. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the host coin, retaining its original royalist design elements, which on the example illustrated appear to include a crowned royal arms with a castle and lion, accompanied by partial remnants of the surrounding legend. The design is heavily worn and partially obscured by the effects of countermarking on the obverse. The denomination numeral and mint marks of the host coin may be partially legible in the lower field. The overall surface shows the characteristic wear and striking marks associated with circulated insurgent-period host coinage. |
