| Obverse description | Raised effigy of President Benito Juárez in left-facing profile occupies the upper field, with the date 1915 appearing below the portrait flanked by six-pointed stars. The encircling legend reads ESTADO L. Y S. DE OAXACA, affirming the authority of the Free and Sovereign State of Oaxaca. The portrait is rendered in a modest relief consistent with the emergency coinage of the Mexican Revolutionary period. The overall design is plain and functional, reflecting the provisional nature of the issue. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral 5 dominates the central field, with the denomination legend CENTAVOS arching below it. The legend MONEDA PROVISIONAL curves along the upper periphery, and the initials TM — standing for Teofilo Monroy, Director of the Oaxaca Mint — appear within the design. Flanking the denomination at the lower field are sprays of oak and laurel, symbols of civic and martial virtue. The entire design is enclosed by a rope or cable border running along the coin's rim, a characteristic decorative element of this provisional series. |
