The value is at the top with the radiant Liberty cap in between, and the mintmark underneath. The pyramid in the center motive of the landscape along with volcanoes and flora is under the sun which divides the denomination and is above the mintmark. The location of the pyramid, Teotihuacán, is written at the pyramid's base. The volcanoes Ixtaccihuatl and Popocatepet are in the background.
