| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle with spread wings, perched in profile on a nopal cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent in its beak. The cactus and rock are set upon a lake, and the entire device is encircled at the base by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied with a ribbon. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery, with a beaded border running along the rim. |

| Reverse description | A left-facing draped bust of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the Mexican independence hero, is prominently displayed in the central field. The denomination is inscribed in words as CINCO PESOS arcing along the upper legend, while the mint mark and date appear in the lower field flanking the truncation of the portrait. The design reflects the classical republican portrait style employed on Mexican gold coinage of the early-to-mid twentieth century. |
