Obverse description The Mexican national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a Mexican golden eagle with wings displayed, perched upon a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop amid water, and devouring a serpent clutched in its beak and right talon. The device is supported below by a wreath of oak and laurel branches. The curved legend ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin capitals.

Reverse description A green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) is depicted in left-facing profile, swimming with outstretched flippers in a naturalistic rendering that fills the central field. The denomination $6 appears in the upper field above the turtle, while the mint mark Mo and the year 2015 are positioned in the lower left of the field. The legend PRUEBA SIN VALOR arcs along the upper border, and the species name TORTUGA VERDE and scientific designation CHELONIA MYDAS are inscribed in the lower portion of the field, identifying this piece as a trial strike of no legal tender value.
