| Obverse description | Central device features the Mexican republican eagle in profile, facing left, perched upon a cactus plant rooted in a rocky outcrop emerging from water, with a serpent clutched in its beak and talons. The eagle is rendered in the early republican style with spread wings. A wreath of laurel and oak branches frames the lower portion of the field. The circular legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA runs along the upper periphery in Latin script, bordered by a toothed inner rim. |

| Reverse description | Central device displays the denomination numeral '2' superimposed upon a radiant sunburst of straight rays emanating from a central point and filling the entire field, a distinctive design element of early Mexican republican coinage. The circular legend along the lower periphery bears the mint mark, assayer initials, date, fineness, and denomination indicators in Latin script, all separated by dots. A toothed inner border frames the legend. |
