| Obverse description | The national arms of Mexico occupy the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) perched upon a prickly pear cactus and devouring a serpent, rendered in high relief. The emblematic device is encircled at the base by a half-wreath composed of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. |
