| Reverse description | A crowned Mexican eagle with wings displayed stands facing left atop a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky outcrop, rendered in bold relief. The eagle's head is turned to its right, and its talons grip the cactus firmly, evoking the ancient Aztec foundation symbol. The surrounding Latin legend reads CONSTITUT 8 R I M MEX I IMPERATOR, incorporating the denomination 8 Reales and the assayer initials J·M, all separated by dots. The legend affirms Agustín I's title as Mexico's first constitutional emperor. A fine milled border encircles the design. |
