An inscription around the top reads Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Below it is an oak-and-laurel wreath. Around the outer field of the design element are 10 historic versions of the coat of arms.

The inscriptions on this face of the coin read 1 Onza, Plata Pura, 2021 Ley .999, and the MO mint mark of the Mexican Mint.
