| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms displayed in the center of the field, depicting the iconic golden eagle perched in profile on a prickly pear cactus, devouring a serpent clutched in its beak and talons. The cactus grows from a rocky outcrop surrounded by laurel and oak branches tied with a ribbon at the base. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs around the upper periphery in Latin capital letters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features two celebrated heroes of Mexican independence presented in three-quarter bust facing one another: Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla at right and José María Morelos at left, both holding the Sentimientos de la Nación document between them. The figures are rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail against a proof-quality field. The circular legend arcs around the upper periphery, while the denomination $20 and the Mexico City mint mark Mo appear in the lower field. The dates 1810 and 2010 flank the commemorative inscription marking the bicentennial of Mexican independence. |
