Obverse description The Mexican national arms occupies the central field, depicting the heraldic eagle perched upon a cactus with wings spread, devouring a serpent, rendered in a crude hand-stamped style characteristic of emergency Revolutionary-era coinage. Foliate sprigs flank the base of the design. The overall execution is irregular and coarse, reflecting the improvised nature of this provisional issue.

Reverse description The large bold numeral '25' dominates the central field, hand-stamped in a plain block-style rendering that occupies most of the available surface. A small foliate sprig is visible above the numeral at the upper field. The denomination mark '¢' accompanies the numerals, and the overall design is characteristically crude and uneven, consistent with the emergency hand-stamped coinage produced during the Mexican Revolution.
