| Obverse description | The Mexican national arms occupy the central field, featuring the iconic eagle displayed upon a cactus, devouring a serpent, encircled by a wreath of laurel and oak. The curved legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS runs along the upper border of the inner circle. Surrounding the central motif in the broad outer ring are the national arms or heraldic devices of eleven Ibero-American nations, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The composition is part of the Ibero-American series, celebrating the shared cultural heritage of the region. |

| Reverse description | A male charro dancer and a female dancer in traditional china poblana costume are depicted in dynamic mid-step, capturing the lively motion of the Jarabe Tapatio, Mexico's national folk dance. The male figure, wearing a wide-brimmed sombrero, holds his hat outstretched toward his partner, whose elaborately embroidered skirt flares outward in full relief. The legend JARABE TAPATIO arcs along the upper border, while MEXICO appears in the exergue along the lower rim. The denomination $5 is positioned to the lower left of the design, and the mint mark Mo with the year 1997 appears to the lower right. |
