| Obverse description | Central design features a Phrygian cap radiating bold sunbeams across the entire field, a motif derived from the traditional Mexican republican cap-and-rays type. The cap is set upon a cannon flanked by stacked cannonballs at the base, symbolizing armed sovereignty. A circular legend reading ESTADO DE CHIHUAHUA frames the design along the periphery, with the date 1913 appearing in the lower field. The overall style is consistent with the emergency coinage produced during the Mexican Revolution under the authority of the State of Chihuahua. |
