| Obverse description | The silver centre displays the Mexican national arms in high relief: an eagle passant-rampant, facing left, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky islet, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The device is rendered in fine detail with precise feather work and a naturalistic cactus pad arrangement. The aluminium-bronze outer ring bears the arc legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS along the upper periphery, with an ornamental laurel and olive branch motif tied with a bow at the base of the ring. |

| Reverse description | The silver centre features an unadorned left-facing bust of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the celebrated Mexican independence hero, rendered in bold relief with finely engraved flowing hair. The name HIDALGO appears as a legend along the lower arc of the centre field. To the right of the portrait, the mint mark 'Mo' and the date of issue are incused in the field. The aluminium-bronze outer ring displays the denomination N$20 prominently at the upper arc, flanked by decorative milled and geometric border patterns, with symmetrical laurel branches tied at the base. |
