| Obverse description | Within an incuse circle, the denomination mark '2R' appears in the central field. A circular legend surrounds the inner ring, reading JVNTA NACIONAL SUPREMA with the denomination indicated. The lettering is crudely struck in the primitive insurgent style typical of emergency provisional coinage issued during the Mexican War of Independence. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, with no pictorial effigy, reflecting the improvised nature of the issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a crude bust facing right in low relief at the center of the coin, possibly representing Ferdinand VII or a generic royal effigy, surrounded by a circular legend reading MONEDA PROVISIONAL (Provisional Money). The design is roughly executed, consistent with the primitive minting techniques employed by insurgent forces in Nueva Galicia during the 1810s. The legend is partially visible around the circumference, with the lettering unevenly spaced due to the hand-struck production method. |
