| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupy the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) perched in profile upon a prickly pear cactus (nopal), its wings partially spread as it subdues a serpent in its beak and talons. The device rests upon a rocky outcrop rising from a lake, with a half-wreath of oak and laurel branches flanking the base. The encircling legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | The numeral '5' dominates the central field of the aluminium bronze core, accompanied by the currency designation 'N$5' and the year of issue positioned above. The mint mark 'Mo' appears to the right of the denomination. The surrounding stainless steel ring bears stylized decorative motifs derived from the Ring of Splendor (Anillo del Resplandor) as found on the Aztec calendar stone (Piedra del Sol), rendered in low relief and forming a continuous band around the bimetallic perimeter. |
