| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Mexican republican eagle — a spread-winged Mexican eagle perched atop a cactus rising from a rocky outcrop, with a serpent clutched in its beak, facing left. The design is surrounded by an ornamental wreath of laurel and oak branches flanking the central device. The legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. This is the standard host coin obverse type used on Mexican silver coinage of the mid-19th century. |
