| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons. The emblematic design is flanked by an oak branch to the left and a laurel branch to the right, tied together at the base. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Pattern coins from Casa de Moneda de México in this period were produced in multiple metal variants — bronze, silver, and gold — to allow authorities to evaluate both design and material before authorizing circulation strikes. This bronze example, catalogued as a rejected or unadopted proposal, never entered production. The 75th anniversary of the 1910 Revolution provided obvious political motivation for a commemorative issue under the PRI government, though the specific design carried by this pattern was ultimately set aside.
The PL reference places it within Pick's Latin American pattern listings, indicating documented but non-circulating status.
