| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched on a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent in its beak and talons. An oak branch appears to the left and a laurel branch to the right of the cactus, both rendered in fine detail. The design is executed in high-relief proof finish against a deeply mirrored field. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals. A beaded border encircles the entire design. |

Issued specifically for the 1986 FIFA World Cup hosted by Mexico — a tournament Mexico inherited from Colombia at barely two years' notice after FIFA stripped the original host in 1983 over insufficient infrastructure guarantees. The 25 Pesos denomination was part of a multi-coin commemorative series, and silver issues like this one circulated alongside base-metal counterparts, though in practice most left circulation immediately as souvenirs.
