| Reverse description | Large bold numeral '25' dominates the central field, hand-stamped in a plain, utilitarian style with no surrounding legend or decorative elements. A small ornamental device appears above the numerals. The field is otherwise unadorned, consistent with the emergency issue nature of this revolutionary-period token coinage. |

| Additional information |
Amecameca was one of several municipalities in the State of Mexico authorized to issue copper fractional currency during the revolutionary period, when federal coinage had effectively collapsed as a reliable medium of exchange. Local authorities and merchants filled the vacuum with pieces that rarely circulated far beyond their issuing district.
KM#685 is sparsely documented, and surviving examples are irregular in quality — a predictable consequence of emergency municipal production rather than centralized mint oversight.
