The obverse of the coin features the national emblem of Mexico, a golden eagle perched on a cactus with a serpent in its beak. This symbol, derived from Aztec mythology, has been central to Mexican identity since independence from Spain.

Around the national emblem, the legend reads “REPUBLICA MEXICANA” (Mexican Republic), a declaration of Mexico’s sovereignty and its republican form of government.

The reverse of the coin displays the denomination "1 Peso" in the center, surrounded by a decorative wreath of laurel and oak. Laurel leaves symbolize victory and triumph, while oak represents strength and endurance, values important to the emerging Mexican state.
