| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting an eagle with wings spread, perched upon a cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, devouring a serpent in its beak — the traditional Aztec symbol of Tenochtitlan. A wreath of oak and laurel branches frames the base of the arms. The legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in incuse Latin capital letters. |

Mexico's ongoing "Tortuga" pattern series explores candidate compositions and designs for future circulating coinage without committing to production. These pieces are struck in small numbers for internal evaluation and occasional numismatic release — they carry no legal tender status and were never intended for commerce. The green sea turtle subject connects to a parallel conservation-themed commemorative program the Mint has maintained since the 1990s.
Copper-nickel was tested against bimetallic and aluminum-bronze alternatives for this denomination tier. No 6-peso circulating coin was ultimately authorized.
