| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Mexican republican eagle displayed with wings spread, perched atop a cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, with a serpent clasped in its beak and talons, rendered in a bold, somewhat primitive style characteristic of Revolutionary-era emergency coinage. A wreath of laurel and oak branches frames the lower portion of the design. The curved legend ESTADO DE AGUASCALIENTES arcs around the upper field, identifying the issuing state authority. The coin's border is formed by a ring of beading. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large, prominent numeral 5 occupying the central field, rendered with either vertical or horizontal shading depending on the variety, encircled by an ornamental ring device. The date 1915 is inscribed in the upper field above the central motif. A wreath of laurel branches frames the design on both sides, tied at the base. The overall composition is simple and functional, consistent with the emergency token coinage produced by the State of Aguascalientes during the Mexican Revolution. |
