| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Mexican national arms as it appeared on the host coin: a Mexican eagle perched upon a cactus growing from a rocky island, devouring a serpent in its beak, with wings spread. The eagle is flanked by laurel and oak branches tied at the base. The encircling legend reads ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS, and a beaded border runs along the coin's rim. The design reflects the standard Porfirian-era national arms type used on Mexican centavo coinage of the early twentieth century. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold applied countermark consisting of the denomination numeral '20' surmounted by a large stylized 'C', all set within a circular incuse punch applied by the Municipality of Toluca. This countermark is centrally placed within a wreath of laurel branches extending from the lower field. The date 1906 appears at the top of the field, referencing the date of the host coin. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |
