| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupy the central field, depicting an eagle passant left perched upon a prickly pear cactus and clutching a serpent in its beak and talons, all contained within a D-shaped cartouche bordered by a band of Aztec glyphs representing the knife motif. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery, while the inscription 1 ONZA DE PLATA LEY 0.999 appears along the lower border, attesting to the coin's silver content and fineness. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a sculptural depiction of a seated Aztec eagle warrior (Guerrero Aguila) rendered in the style of pre-Columbian stone carving, set within a D-shaped cartouche identical in design to the obverse border, ornamented with a continuous band of Aztec knife glyphs. The warrior is shown in a formal, frontal pose, adorned with an eagle-head helmet and ceremonial regalia characteristic of the Aztec military elite. The mint mark Mo and date 1993 appear to the left of the central motif, while the denomination N$5 and the inscription GUERRERO AGUILA are inscribed in the field. |
