Obverse

The phrase "Estados Unidos Mexicanos" on the top of the coin around the rim above an older version of the Mexican coat of arms (A Mexican golden eagle standing on a prickly pear cactus devouring a rattlesnake). At the base of the cactus, there is a holm oak (Encina) branch on one side and a laurel branch on the other.

Script: Latin

Lettering: ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS

Translation: United Mexican States

Reverse

The year at the top and the denomination over the cent symbol in the center surrounded by a wreath and the mintmark below

Comments

There are examples of wide and narrow dates (wide dates go closer to the wreath, and the space between the numbers is twice that of the Narrow ones, yet often a magnifying glass is needed to appreciate that).
