| Obverse description | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop amid water, grasping a serpent in its beak and talons, with a garland of oak and laurel branches below. The Mexico City mint mark 'Mo' appears to the left of the arms. The curved legend 'ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS' arcs around the upper periphery, while a dentilated border frames the entire design. |

The curved legend 'CINCUENTA CENTAVOS' arcs around the upper periphery, flanking the bust to either side, while the date '1959' is inscribed at the bottom of the field.
