| Reverse description | The reverse presents the Mexican Republic eagle type: a right-facing Mexican eagle with wings spread, perched on a prickly pear cactus growing from a rocky islet, devouring a serpent coiled in its beak and talons. The eagle is surrounded by a wreath of oak and laurel branches tied at the base with a bow. The circular legend REPUBLICA MEXICANA arcs across the upper field. The overall design reflects the early republican coinage style of Mexico City, before the countermark was applied by Philippine colonial authorities. |
