| Obverse description | A vignette drawn from Diego Rivera's mural forms the background, evoking the city of Tenochtitlan. At centre, a detail from the monolith known as the Teocalli de la Guerra Sagrada presents an eagle perched upon a nopal cactus, clutching the Atl-Tlachinolli symbol in its beak, rendered in warm earth tones on a polymer substrate. Inscriptions identify the issuer and denomination, with a legend referencing the founding of Tenochtitlan as representative of ancient Mexico's historical period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is devoted to the lacustrine ecosystem of Xochimilco, a UNESCO cultural heritage site in Mexico City, with a central vignette of an axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) set against representations of maize and the characteristic chinampas waterways rendered in cool blue and green tones. The composition conveys the ecological and cultural significance of the region's river and lake system through detailed illustrative work on the polymer surface. |
