| Obverse description | Unadorned bare head of Emperor Agustín I (Agustín de Iturbide) facing right, rendered in a neoclassical style with short, naturalistically modeled hair. The truncation of the bust is plain and undecorated. The circular legend reads AUGUST· DEI · PROV · Mo · 1822, with the mint mark Mo (Mexico City) and date 1822 positioned in the lower portion of the field. The coin's milled border frames the design. |

| Reverse description | A crowned eagle with wings displayed perches atop a prickly pear cactus (nopal) growing from a rocky outcrop surrounded by water, closely following the traditional Mexican imperial eagle motif. The eagle faces left with its head turned to the viewer's right, talons gripping the cactus pad. The circular legend MEX·I·IMPERATOR · CONSTITUT·8·R·I·M surrounds the central device, referencing Agustín I as Mexico's first constitutional emperor and denoting the denomination of 8 Reales. The toothed border encircles the entire design. |
