| Beschrijving voorzijde | Blue letterpress print on plain paper with black serial numbers and red denomination overprint. The central vignette shows a man guiding a plow drawn by two oxen, flanked on the left by an allegorical female figure holding fruits and a cornucopia and leaning against a disc inscribed with the zodiacal signs for Libra, Scorpio, and Sagittarius, and on the right by a second allegorical female figure holding flowers and a sheaf of wheat. The note is framed by guilloche lathe-work borders typical of American Bank Note Company production. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed entirely in blue, the reverse is dominated by an oval vignette at center containing a detailed engraved view of the Hacienda de San Miguel, rendered with cross-hatched shading to convey the building's facade, arched colonnades, ornate entrance gate, and mountainous backdrop. The vignette is surrounded by intricate guilloche lathe-work scrollwork panels and circular rosette motifs, with monogram cartouches in the upper left and upper right corners. |

Hacienda scrip like this 5 Centavos note filled an acute void during the Mexican Revolution, when federal currency collapsed in credibility and coined silver vanished into hoarding almost overnight. San Miguel Solís, a hacienda in the Estado de México, issued these tokens of obligation — redeemable only within the estate's own economy — to keep peons paid and the tienda de raya stocked.
The choice of the American Bank Note Company for a private agricultural scrip issue is telling. ABNC handled the job because their engraved security printing was nearly impossible to counterfeit locally, a real concern when rival factions controlled neighboring territory.
