| Reverse description | A facing portrait bust of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the father of Mexican independence, is depicted in high relief at the center of the field, rendered with detailed facial features characteristic of official commemorative portraiture. To the left in the background, the facade of the Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Dolores, the parish church in Dolores Hidalgo associated with the Grito de Independencia, is shown in low relief. The legend AÑO DE HIDALGO arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by the dates 1753 and 1953 commemorating the bicentennial of Hidalgo's birth. The composition effectively unites the historical figure with the landmark most closely associated with his revolutionary proclamation. |
