| Obverse description | The obverse presents the current Mexican national arms in high relief at center: a golden eagle perched upon a prickly-pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent, all within a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon. Surrounding the central arms in a wide arc are ten smaller historical renditions of the Mexican national coat of arms, each depicting a different heraldic version used throughout the nation's history. The curved legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' arcs across the upper-center field between the central device and the surrounding historical emblems. The deeply mirrored proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely frosted devices. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features the full-length winged allegorical figure of Winged Victory (the Angel of Independence), modeled after the famous monument in Mexico City, standing atop a neoclassical column pedestal with outstretched arms; she holds a laurel wreath in her right hand and broken chains in her left, her robes billowing dynamically. In the background, the snow-capped volcanic peaks of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl rise above a sweeping landscape, with agave plants visible in the lower foreground. The mint mark 'Mo' appears to the right of center field. The surrounding legend reads '5 ONZAS PLATA PURA' at upper left, the date '2021' at upper right, and 'LEY .999' continuing along the right border. |
