| Obverse description | At center, the national coat of arms of Mexico — an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent — is displayed within a wreath of oak and laurel branches. The denomination CINCO PESOS appears below the arms, flanked by the silver fineness LEY .720 and the coin weight 18.055 G. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs around the upper periphery, with the date positioned at the base of the design in the exergue area. |

| Reverse description | A bold left-facing bust of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the revered father of Mexican independence, dominates the central field in high relief. His hair is rendered in naturalistic waves swept back from the face, and his truncation is plain. The mintmark 'Mo' appears to the right of the bust in the mid-field. The curved legend INDEPENDENCIA Y LIBERTAD arcs around the upper periphery, while HIDALGO is inscribed along the lower border, flanked by raised dots. |
