| Obverse description | Uncrowned, draped bust of Emperor Agustín I (Agustín de Iturbide) facing right, rendered in high relief with naturalistically styled short hair. The truncation of the bust is plain. The surrounding legend is separated from the bust by an open field, with the date 1822 positioned in the lower exergual area flanked by raised dots. A milled border encircles the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A crowned eagle — popularly known as the 'crowned chick' due to its rudimentary, somewhat juvenile rendering — stands facing left with wings spread, perched atop a prickly pear cactus (nopal) growing from a rocky outcrop. The eagle wears a small imperial crown on its head. The surrounding circular legend contains the denomination numeral 8, the assayer initials J·M, and the mint mark, all separated by raised dots. A milled border frames the design. |
