| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms is presented within a square cartouche at centre, depicting the eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper border outside the cartouche, while the weight and fineness designation 1 ONZA DE PLATA LEY 0.999 appears along the lower border in the field. The overall composition is rendered in a bold relief characteristic of Mexican bullion coinage of this period. |

| Reverse description | A stylised pre-Columbian stone sculpture of a wrestler figure, known as El Luchador, is depicted in high relief at centre within a square cartouche, reflecting the Mesoamerican artistic tradition associated with Olmec culture. The mint mark Mo and the date of issue appear within the cartouche alongside the motif title EL LUCHADOR. The denomination $5 is inscribed in the field below the cartouche, outside the border. The design draws from the famous basalt figure housed in the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Mexico City. |
