Reverse description The central design features a steam locomotive in profile traversing the landscape, rendered in relief against a radiant rising sun whose rays fan outward across the upper field. Two stylized palm trees flank the locomotive, evoking the tropical setting of the Yucatan Peninsula. The date '1950' is inscribed within the solar disc above the train. The commemorative arc legend 'INAUGURACION DEL FERROCARRIL DEL SURESTE' curves along the upper and lateral periphery, while '1950' appears again in the lower field. The composition commemorates the inaugural opening of the Southeastern Railway line connecting Mexico City to the Yucatan Peninsula and the port of Progreso.
