| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms are displayed prominently in the field, with the issuer's initials 'RM' inscribed below. The coin exhibits characteristics of a hand-stamped emergency issue, with diameter ranging from 24 to 25 mm and weight varying between 11.34 and 12.86 g, reflecting the improvised nature of its production. The design is rendered with the crude, utilitarian style typical of revolutionary-era provisional coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination numeral '20' dominates the upper portion of the field in large, bold characters, with a centavo symbol ('C' with a vertical stroke through it) positioned centrally below. The design is stark and functional, consistent with the emergency hand-stamped coinage produced during the Mexican Revolutionary period. The overall execution is rough, with surface irregularities typical of improvised wartime token issues. |
