| Obverse description | The obverse displays the Mexican national arms in high relief at center: an eagle displayed facing, perched upon a nopal cactus growing from a rocky outcrop amid water, devouring a serpent grasped in its beak and right talon. The device is rendered in fine detail with naturalistic feathering and foliage. The circular legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in widely spaced Latin capitals. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a three-quarter facing bust of Cuauhtemoc, last Aztec emperor, slightly to the left, wearing a traditional feathered headdress and pre-Columbian ornamental collar, rendered in a bold modernist style. To the upper right appears a small spread-winged eagle device alongside the Mexico City Mint mark Mo. The denomination 50 Cs is inscribed to the right of the portrait in two lines, and the date is placed vertically along the left field. |
