| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Mexican national arms: an eagle displayed upon a prickly pear cactus rising from a rocky islet in a lake, the eagle grasping a serpent in its beak. The arms are encircled at the base by a wreath composed of olive and oak branches tied with a ribbon. The circular legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA arches above the device in Latin characters. The overall engraving style imitates the standard Republican coinage of the period, though as a contemporary counterfeit the execution may exhibit weaknesses in fine detail relative to genuine issues. |
